Product Specifications

For fast, efficient loading and unloading of trucks/trailers by fork truck, particularly when no loading bay is available.
Thorworld Yardramps are renowned for their quality and strength, and for the availability of specialist engineers, who aim to reach you within 48 hours in the case of a breakdown.
All models include: steel superstructure, hand operated hydraulic pump to raise ramp to required height, built-in towing mechanism for moving by fork truck. Solid tyres, 1.8m of safety chain on each side for securing ramp to truck or dock and serrated open grid deck for positive traction in all weather conditions.
Available to rent, for short, medium or long-term hire, and to buy on a sale or return basis. If the ramp is on hire and then ultimately purchased, an allowance will be given against the rentals already paid. View the RENTARAMP section of our site which details the ramps available for hire.

Thorworld's maintenance service is available for all ramps.
All our ramps have been independently tested, meet the latest European standards and directives and carry the CE mark.
An electrical pump is available and can be incorporated if required.
We strongly recommend the use of Yardramp Wheel Chocks (TWC-8) when the ramp is stored and in use, Vehicle Wheel Chocks (TWC-1) to secure the trailer, and a Safety Jack (TWCJ-4253) to support the trailer when being loaded and unloaded without a lorry cab.

Thorworld Range of Mobile Yardramps / Container Ramps

At Thorworld we believe in suggesting a ramp which is ideal for your application giving you the choice to select a ramp which is not only cost effective but suitable for your operation. It is imperative however that when using Yardramps / Container ramps that all the recommended maintenance and operating procedures are worked to, in order to ensure a smooth, effective and safe working practice and that the Periodic Inspections recommended by ( F.E.M.) The European Federation of Materials Handling are implemented.

In the majority of situations where Yardramp / Container Ramps are operated, ramps may only be used up to 3/4 times per day. In these situations our standard ramps are available in both 10 tonne (i.e. Type 8 & 9) models along with the 7 tonne type 10 model. These lower cost, "Thrifty Ramps", are ideal for such low frequency usage.
Type 9 - These ramps are available in 10000Kg capacity and have an integrated entry plate. This allows the use of a push type towing mechanism, as detailed in Feature Image 5 Below. This towing mechanism allows the ramp to be pushed/pulled around using any standard forktruck tine.
Types 8 & 10 - These ramps are also available in 10000Kg and 7000Kg capacities respectively (along with a 6000Kg Type 10) but have more traditional fold-down entry ramps. This ensures a fixed entry angle, regardless of the height of the ramp. As a result of this entry type, these models feature a built in, pull type tow bar (See Feature Image 4) to be pulled by most fork trucks with external towing pocket.
See data table below for full details

These ramps are available in 10 Tonne capacity and are suitable for medium duty usage typically continual use in a one-shift operation. If heavier usage will be encountered then we would advise that the Super Deluxe ramps should be used.
Type 7 - These ramps are available in 7000Kg and 10000Kg capacity and have an integrated entry plate. This allows the use of a push type towing mechanism, as detailed in Feature Image 5 Below. This towing mechanism allows the ramp to be pushed/pulled around using any standard forktruck tine.
Type 6 - The Deluxe Type 6 is our most popular mobile yard ramp and comes with high side rails as standard, as well as fold down entry ramps, for a fixed approach angle, and integrated towing bracket for use with most standard forktrucks.
See data table below for full details

These ramps are available in both 12 Tonne and 15 Tonne capacities and are called The Recycling Ramps that can stand heavy workloads performing in a three-shift operation, in the most rigorous of environments eg. The recycling industry.
The Super Deluxe Type 6 is our most heavy duty yard ramp and comes with high side rails as standard, as well as fold down entry ramps, for a fixed approach angle, and integrated towing bracket for use with most standard forktrucks.
See data table below for full details

Hydraulic operation through the use of a double acting manual handpump (electrical pump upgrade available for most ramps) - See Features Image 2 below.
Serrated open grid deck for positive traction in all weather conditions - See Features Images 3 below.

Types 5, 6, 8 & 10 ramps are fitted with a tow bar which attaches to external towing pockets on most forktrucks - See Features image 4 below.

Types 7 & 9 are fitted with a tow hitch which accepts most standard fork truck forks - See Features Image 5 below.
