If you have worked in a rail yard, you know the hard work and scheduling that goes into it. To keep everything on time, every crew needs to be ready to go and working as efficiently as possible. This can be stressful and in some cases create safety issues. That’s why we created the Dura-Ramp Rail. This ramp is specifically designed to address the challenges of unloading boxcars while giving you the flexibility and agility you need to get the job done safely and efficiently.
To get the heavy lifting done, the forklift tends to be the best tool for the job. As with all of our portable loading ramps, the Dura-Ramp Rail uses serrated steel bar grate decking to give you optimal traction. The grate allows debris to fall through and prevent obstacles and slipping hazards. The ramp and platform are also equipped with railings to keep your forklift on track. The strong, steel railings ensure that if there is ever miscommunication, you don’t have to worry about your forklift falling off any side of the ramp.
To help with the constantly changing workplace, the Dura-Ramp Rail offers fast installation and take-down. This allows you to quickly move from one boxcar to the next with minimal downtime. Once you have the ramp setup, you don’t need to worry about the different boxcar sizes:
Adjustable Support Legs – The adjustable support legs can be operated with a hand crank to easily match the height of the railcar. Alternatively, you could also add on the optional Electric Easy-Lift for added convenience.
Removable Rail Guards – The safety rail guards are removable, making the loading dock useable left and right
Designed for Compatibility – To make the ramp as diverse as possible, it is designed to be compatible with any boxcar door size.
With the use of the Dura-Ramp Rail, you can eliminate your crew’s downtime and costly relocation between multiple railcars. With quality built into every ramp, you can trust the reliability and safety our portable loading ramps can bring your operations.
