Stationary Steel Yard Ramp

Overview

The Bluff loading dock ramp is set in place at concrete or portable steel loading dock when it is unloaded from the trailer. It is secured to the dock by chains and optional dock chain brackets. That’s it, your Bluff loading dock ramp is ready to use. Steel grating with the bearing bars oriented in the direction of travel gives maximum strength while the serrated top provides excellent traction while preventing build-up of snow, water, and other debris. Solid steel deck approach plates at both ends provide a smooth transition and maximum life for the ramp.

(CAUTION: Some competitor’s units use open grating at both ends… this allows the steering wheels of the forklift to twist the bearing bars causing failure).

Bluff’s Yard Ramps are the most copied design on the market. Our deep side members not only provide considerable run-off protection for forklifts, but also boast the strongest load member currently in use. If you’ve got a need for moving product from ground to dock via forklift or need to move a fleet of trucks into your building for any reason, a Bluff Ground-to-Dock Stationary Yard Ramp is the right choice.

Stationary Steel Yard Ramp

Overview

High-Capacity Yard Ramps from Bluff Manufacturing can be used for a variety of applications. Positioned in a farm field, high-capacity yard ramps can be positioned to transport perishable items efficiently from the field to a refrigerated trailer. Being able to load bailed hay onto a flatbed trailer in the field with the use of a yard ramp can save time and effort instead of needing to move bales to a different location and reloaded for transportation. At warehouses, the yard ramps can help to expand effectiveness of the buildings without permanent construction. If a company changes locations, the yard ramp can be moved with them.

Choosing a Yard Ramp
Bluff emphasizes the importance of selecting a yard ramp with a capacity and design that can accommodate the specific needs of the application, considering factors such as forklift capacity, operational velocity, and long-term durability.
Considerations for Velocity & Durability
Depending on the velocity of operations (such as brisk loading and unloading or multiple shifts), Bluff may recommend upgrading to a higher capacity unit, such as a 25,000 lbs model. Additionally, recommendations may include thicker grating materials for enhanced durability, starting at 1-3/4" thickness compared to competitors' starting point of 1-1/4".
