Overview
Mobile yardramp accessories are essential to get the best from your yardramp solution. Here’s an overview of just some of the accessories we offer.
Every loading operation is different. Site layouts, vehicle types, and working practices all influence how a yard ramp is used and the risks that need to be managed.
Before selecting accessories, a thorough site-specific risk assessment should be carried out. It’s important to consider the entire loading and unloading process, not just the movement of forklift trucks.
We design and manufacture in-house, meaning that if you don’t see what you need, we can often accommodate special requirements. Please ask if you have any special requests.

Anti-slip
If pedestrians need to walk on the ramp, we strongly recommend full length handrails to both sides. Anti-slip Grit flooring may also be required to the entry and exit sections of the ramp.

Electric pump upgrade
An alternative to the standard hydraulic hand pump is the option of an electrical pump, this can be used to raise and lower the ramp with the press of a button. The electrical pump is available in three types, 110V, 240V, and 415V depending on the power available on site.
External Fork Truck Towing Adaptor
Folding Entry Type ramps are towed behind your FLT. When turning tightly, ‘internal’ towing pockets on FLT’s can cause the ramps to bind – external pockets are therefore required to prevent damage and improve usability. If your FLT has an internal towing pocket, we can provide an adaptor to suit.
Fork Truck Towing Attachment
This attachment can be used with ramps with Folding Entry Type ramps. The stand-alone adaptor attaches to standard fork truck tines/stanchions, and allows you to move the ramp in a similar way to Integrated Entry Type ramps, for one-man operation. Click here for more details.
Suitable for forks 140x60mm max, closing to 160mm centres. Alternatives available on request.
One-Man Operation (Telescopic) Tow Adaptor
This adaptor can be retro-fitted to Folding Entry Type ramps. This allows the ramp to be moved in a similar way to Integrated Entry Type ramps, for one-man operation.
Yardramp Safety Interlock
This is a ‘trapped key’ control system designed to further improve the safety when operating a yardramp. Click here for more details.
Brackets and/or Support Legs for fixed ramps
Allow any of our mobile ramps to be fixed in place and used as semi-permanent access to raised floors.
Three wheeled trucks
All our yardramps 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.
