With over 20 years of experience in ramp design and production, we know that one thing holds true – one ramp does not work in every situation. In day-to-day operations for businesses, there are so many variables to consider when using a loading ramp. You have to take into an account a number of different factors. So if you are in need of a custom designed loading ramp, here are some things to consider:
How frequently is the ramp going to be moved?
If you need a ramp that constantly needs to be transferred from one location to another, then the ramp will need to be designed with this specification in mind. Our Dura-Ramp Mobile is great for mobility, but may not be tall enough, wide enough, or strong enough for your operations. We will work with you to provide a ramp that is easy to transport as is best to fit your needs.
What is the level of capacity you require?
This question here separates the lightweights from the heavyweights. If you are requiring the ramp to hold over 30,000 lbs., we will need to build a ramp with structural integrity as the priority. While our ramps are made with a durable I-beam structure, you do not want to push the limits and compromise security. We will talk with you to find out the load range your ramp will need to handle, and how to provide an end-result that can satisfy your requirements without compromising safety.
What are you using the ramp for?
Are you using it for loading trailers, loading, railcars or dock access? We can help provide ramp solutions for many of the situations you encounter where a loading dock is necessary. We can design your custom loading ramp to accommodate the vehicle of your choice or even multiple vehicles at a time. It is about maximizing your efficiency and matching a ramp with your workflow.
