Overview
Ground level container ramps are designed to allow access into standard shipping containers that are at ground level.
For access to containers on skeletal trailers, please see our Mobile Yardramps.
Our ground level container ramps are designed to be used with standard shipping containers with 150mm floor height. Contact us for advice if you are using temperature controlled containers, or similar, with raised or set-back floor levels.
A smooth, flat and sturdy floor area is required in front of the container.
All models are manufactured at our factory in Chesterfield. Specials to suit your specific operations can be accommodated.
We offer solutions for fork truck use, or lighter weight applications:
Steel Ramps
Steel Ground Level Container Ramps for Fork Truck Use
- Typically supplied in 6,000K, 10,000Kg or 12,000Kg capacities to suit your operations, though others are available on request.
- Two heavy duty steel designs available depending on the nature of the goods to be (un)loaded:
- Ramp only – a one piece design, moved from the front by FLT. Provides a steady slope incline to access the container floor. See image 1 & 2.
- Ramp and platform – a one piece design, moved from the side by FLT. Provides a level working platform (typically 1850mm in length) to allow horizontal access and thus prevent tightly packed goods from impacting the top of the container. See image 3 & 4.
- Movement by simple fork truck pocket allows quick and easy movement by one operative only (Note – Ramp and Platform design requires side-shift functionality of the fork truck to aid/simplify positioning)
- Antislip grit surface is available as an optional extra.
- Alternatively, we can offer a lightweight aluminium unit for movement by pallet trucks. See below.
Aluminium Ramps
Aluminium Ground Level Container Ramps for Pallet Truck Use
- These lighter-weight models are made from high-tensile aluminium, for lighter applications than the above steel options.
- Can be moved into position by pallet or fork truck.
