One of the significant advantages of a yard ramp is the absence of the need for a permanent docking bay. Constructing a docking bay can be costly and is only viable for more permanent facilities. For temporary situations or locations lacking proper dock equipment, yard ramps are an excellent solution.

Yard ramps are typically made from either aluminum or steel. In rugged environments where temperatures drop below freezing, aluminum ramps are necessary. While welded steel yard ramps are less expensive, they are significantly heavier. To ensure traction and prevent slipping of the lift equipment and workers, diamond-plated decking is often used.

The capacity of yard ramps can vary greatly, with the industry standard being 10 tons (22,000 lbs.). There are also lighter duty ramps (15,000 lbs. capacity) and heavier-duty versions (33,000 lbs. capacity). To select the appropriate capacity for your needs, you must know the weight of your lift equipment and the maximum load it will carry. For instance, if a forklift weighs 5,000 lbs. and can carry up to 4,500 lbs., a yard ramp with a minimum capacity of 9,500 lbs. is recommended. This ensures you do not overload your equipment and stress the metal.

Additional safety features to consider include safety rails and handrails to protect operators and workers. The ramp should also float or "bob" up and down with the truck's suspension during unloading to ensure proper weight transfer. Some yard ramps are mobile, featuring an attachment for towing, allowing transportation by truck without consuming trailer bed space.

Buying used versus new yard ramps can save you nearly 50% of the cost and reduce lead time. The only notable difference between a new and used ramp is surface wear. Superficial wear on the diamond-plated decking does not affect the overall capacity, allowing you to purchase with confidence from reputable sources.

When purchasing used equipment, it is important to deal with trustworthy suppliers. At ASI, we guarantee satisfaction by providing a 30-day warranty on selected used products.
