Mobile Yardramps are an ideal solution for fast and efficient loading and unloading of containers/trailers by fork truck particularly when no loading bay is available.
At Thorworld we pride ourselves in supplying you with the mobile yard ramp which is most suitable for your application. Whether it is being used occasionally or continuously over multi-shift operations.

Thorworld Yardramps are renowned for their quality and strength, and for the availability of specialist engineers.
All our ramps have been designed and tested to meet all applicable UK & EU standards, regulations and directives, and carry the UKCA, and CE marks where applicable.
Our mobile yard ramps are suitable for indoor or outdoor operation and storage.
We are proud to manufacture all our mobile yardramps at our factory in Derbyshire, England (UK), allowing us to supply bespoke designs if required.
Selecting The Right Ramp
Operationally there are two distinct styles of mobile yardramps to suit your preferred method of entry and towing:
Integrated entry type:
Constant slope along full incline section of ramp. Movement by standard FLT fork secured into towing hitch.
Folding entry type:
Entry ramps fold up to allow towing behind a FLT via external towing pocket. Fixed entry angle to ramp, regardless of ramp height before transition onto main incline section.
Our mobile yard ramps are also categorised by usage:
Standard
Ideal for the majority of situations where ramps are used. These represent our most economic range of ramps for standard use.
Deluxe
The Deluxe ramps are our most popular mobile yard ramps. Designed for situations where heavier usage will be encountered; e.g. continual use in a one-shift operation.
Super Deluxe
Required for heavy-duty, continual multi-shift usage or 24/7 operation. These are our most robust and durable products. They are required for the harsh conditions typically seen in the recycling industry and similar environments.
Common features
Hydraulic operation
Hydraulic operation with a double acting manual handpump (electrical pump upgrade available for most ramps).
Flooring
Serrated open grid deck for positive traction in all weather conditions.
Safety by design
A full width, 300mm deep exit lip for location into vehicle, and 300mm (min) high side rails.
Safety chains
Securing hooks on 1.8 m of safety chain to each side of the ramp, for securing the container/trailer.
Detail
- All our mobile yardramps are finished with a one-coat anti-corrosive semi-gloss paint, containing zinc phosphate anti-corrosive pigments.
- Raising and lowering of mobile yard ramp for height adjustment is achieved by means of a hand operated hydraulic pump. Pump the handle to raise the ramp. To lower, a valve is released and the ramp lowers. The hydraulic system used allows the ramp to safely ‘float’ with the vehicle during loading/unloading, ensuring maximum safety at all times.
- All our mobile yard ramps are designed, tested and approved using four wheeled fork trucks. If three wheeled trucks are to be used this puts extra point loading onto flooring and as a result additional flooring supports will be required to prevent damage. Please contact us for further information.
- Capacities stated are total load, but all our ramps are tested in the worst case scenario; with the total load applied through a single axle, which occurs when a fully loaded FLT brakes harshly. Important: Check that other manufacturers’ container loading ramps are the same, not simply UDL.
- Yardramps are primarily intended for us by fork lift trucks. If pedestrians need to walk on the ramp, ensure the risk of falling is adequately risk assessed. Handrails and anti-slip flooring is available – see our Accessories page for more detail.
- Special loading ramp can also be manufactured to your specification, subject to quotation.

Delivery
Mobile Yard Ramps delivered by us are generally sent on a step-frame low-loader for easy and safe off-loading on site. The ramp simply needs wheeling off the trailer, eliminating the necessity for a dangerous tandem fork truck lift or an expensive crane off-lift.
