Loading Ramps / Van Ramp Foot End

Most TUV Certified loading ramps are designed, tested & built at a 30% loading gradient to allow for safe loading & unloading. Because all of our Plant Ramps and Van Ramps (except the TRP40 Series) have a foot end cut to sit flat on the floor when the ramp is used at a specific angle – This is to evenly distribute the weight applied & allow for a smooth transfer on or off the ramp at ground level. If the height you are loading to differs from the product specification, we recommend speaking to one of our advisers. It could be that a customised ramp solution will need to be fabricated at our factory to suit the height you are loading up to. Price for amending the foot end is typically £50 plus VAT for a pair of loading ramps. All loading ramps held in stock for next day delivery will be cut for the 30% gradient which translates as follows: 1500mm length = 450mm load height 2000mm length = 600mm load height 2500mm length = 750mm load height 3000mm length = 900mm load height 3500mm length = 1050mm load height 4000mm length = 1200mm load height 4500mm length = 1350mm load height 5000mm length = 1500mm load height Having the foot end cut to sit flush with the ground will increase the life expectancy of your loading ramps & make for smoother loading. Using a ramp at the wrong height is likely to invalidate warranty & be very dangerous.
