Discover Altam’s premium selection of yard ramps, meticulously engineered for the demands of warehouse and industrial settings. Our yard ramps, also recognized as Portable Loading Ramps or Portable Loading Docks, present a reliable and cost-effective solution to a myriad of loading dock challenges. At Altam, we understand that the primary function of yard ramps typically falls into one of two categories: facilitating the movement of forklifts either up into a truck bed or down to ground level from the dock. Depending on your specific application, we offer tailored designs to suit your exact needs.

Unlocking Versatility

The Many Uses of Mobile Yard Ramps

  • Material Storage Yards: A very common use of yard ramps is in industrial storage yards where it is not possible to install a loading dock.
  • Relocating Equipment: Moving heavy equipment is another frequent use, whether it is for mining, forestry, oil and gas, construction, or other industrial sectors that employ big machinery.
  • Location: Ramps can be used in a variety of remote job site scenarios, not just construction sites. For example, they can be used for loading agricultural totes, military gear and supplies, outdoor festivals and concerts, and much more.
  • Dock Extension: Yard ramps can help temporarily expand loading dock capacity without requiring building when a facility experiences temporary volume surges or unanticipated demand.
  • Access for Vehicles into Buildings: On sites having both a factory or warehouse and a storage yard, yard ramps can facilitate the unrestricted movement of forklifts.
