When there are no docks available, these aluminum walk ramps are perfect for loading and unloading trucks. Their open - deck design lets snow, ice, and water pass through, offering a strong grip for delivery staff, shippers, and receivers. Made of 100% welded aluminum, they're lightweight and rust - proof. Each ramp has a 2 - foot high safety curb on both sides. The overlap - style end lip lies on the trailer bed for a smooth transition, and two safety chains are included to connect the ramp to the trailer. Note that these ramps aren't suitable for pallet trucks or three - wheeled carts. The version with handrails provides more stability and security. The 40 - 1/4 - foot high railing sections come with an 18 - 7/16 - foot mid - rail. Handrails can be bolted onto one or both sides of the ramp, and installation brackets and hardware are included. All measurements are approximate, and shipping weights are also estimates.
Using these aluminum walk ramps is easy. First, make sure the trailer bed is stable. Place the ramp with the overlap - style end lip on the trailer bed. Connect the two safety chains to the trailer for safety. You can then start using the ramp to load or unload trucks. When using the ramp with handrails, attach the handrails to one or both sides as needed using the provided brackets and hardware. Remember, these ramps are not for pallet trucks or three - wheeled carts. For maintenance, regularly check the welded joints for any signs of damage. Clean the ramp regularly to remove dirt and debris. If there are any scratches on the aluminum surface, you can use a mild aluminum cleaner to prevent oxidation. Keep the ramp in a dry place when not in use to maintain its quality.
