Heavy duty ramps for tractor trailers are engineered loading solutions designed to support the weight and dimensions of large commercial vehicles. Here’s a clear and functional overview:
Heavy duty ramps built for strength, durability, and safety—used to load and unload heavy equipment or cargo from tractor trailers.
Typically made from steel or high-strength aluminum, depending on mobility and capacity requirements.
Designed to handle loads from 10,000 lbs to over 100,000 lbs, depending on the application.
Key Features
High Load Capacity: Built to withstand the weight of fully loaded trailers, forklifts, or construction machinery.
Surface Grip: Serrated or punched traction surfaces prevent slippage, even in wet or oily conditions.
Reinforced Structure: Internal bracing and structural supports ensure long-term durability under stress.
Tapered Ends: Smooth transitions from ground to heavy duty ramp to trailer reduce risk of equipment damage or tipping.
Portability Options: Some heavy duty ramps are mobile with wheels or forklift slots; others are permanent fixtures.
Types
Yard Ramps: Freestanding units used in loading yards, often with adjustable heights.
Dock Ramps: Connect the loading dock to the trailer, often custom-fit.
Container Ramps: Sized specifically for standard shipping containers.
Modular or Foldable Designs: For space-saving and easier transport.
