All of our loading ramps come standard with high traction, serrated steel bar grate decking. This is a standard as it is optimal for forklifts and high foot traffic ramps. But for equipment with tracks, wood decking is a must.
When it comes to equipment with tracks wood decking is the optimal choice. For equipment with tires, the serrated grate enables the tired to gain traction while ascending and descending the ramp. Similar for foot traffic, if the surface is flat it can be slippery and easy to lose your grip. When it comes to equipment with tracks, such as small bobcats, the tracks are in charge of gaining traction. A serrated surface can conflict with the tracks, getting caught and damaging the tracks. The wood surface is flat offering the equipment to do the work it was designed for.
If your job site uses equipment with tracks, ask about our wood decking option for portable loading ramps. Wood decking can be added to any of our portable loading docks.
