3 Types of Loading Ramps

Loading ramps have always been a necessity for commercial as well as household use. For household purposes, the size and capacity do not really play an important role but for commercial purposes, these 2 factors are only the primary factors that decide the model and design of the loading ramp.

There are mainly 3 ways in which the loading ramps can be categorized.

Heavy-Duty Loading Ramps

These ramps are meant for the loading and unloading of huge objects with massive weights, sometimes several tons of weight. These ramps include car and track ramps, levelers, Bobcat ramps, forklift ramps, military and walk ramps. As can be guessed military ramps have the highest weight bearing capacity and durability. These ramps have designs that can withstand the immense weight of the objects that they are subjected too without any damage to the equipment. These can be mobile or can be fitted to the loading vehicle itself.

Mobile Loading Ramps

The mobility of loading ramps is required when transportation of goods and commodities are involved. These ramps are usually folded to a concise shape and are designed to carry from average to heavy loads. These loading ramps have wheels to make them mobile. They can be made heavy duty and have a slanted platform that can be unfolded to different heights as per the requirement of the task.

Railcar Loading Ramp

These loading ramps are capable of bearing heavy loads and are also mobile. The railcars have rails on the platform on which the loads are mounted and then lifted manually or mechanically to the desired level. These loading ramps have utility in the docking yards and the transportation of cargo within a storage establishment.

To choose the best loading ramps make sure to sort out the average load you need to lift and the budget.
