Copperloy Yard Ramp Rental

The productivity and efficiency of a loading dock is contingent on the quality and functionality of the equipment in use. Yard ramp rentals and other equipment should be safe and functional, first and foremost. Without safe and reliable equipment, a facility’s overall efficiency will inevitably suffer. Copperloy offers yard ramp rental to facility’s in search of equipment to improve their productivity and safety standards.  Yard ramps are particularly important pieces of equipment for loading docks, as they are necessary for forklifts to travel onto docks and trucks. The typical yard ramp will experience extreme levels of pressure during the average workday at a freight-handling facility; thus, they need to be capable of withstanding a massive workload. Copperloy’s yard ramp rentals offer stability and durability to loading dock operations.
Copperloy designs their ramps to work efficiently under severe conditions. With sixty years in the industry, Copperloy has applied their experience to the consistent enhancement of their equipment manufacturing. Copperloy yard ramp rentals are also much safer and reliable than competing ramps on the market.

Features of the Copperloy Yard Ramps | Yard Ramp Rental

Copperloy yard ramp rentals offer a variety of features to improve efficiency and functionality:

• 8-Foot Level Off: Forklift access is a constant concern in the design of yard ramps. This feature of Copperloy yard ramps is designed to make forklift access a much smoother process.
• Hydraulic Pump Location: Many other yard ramps on the market position their hand pumps in less-than-convenient locations. Copperloy, however, designs their ramps with the hydraulic hand pump on the outside, thus, increasing convenience and mitigating exposure to dirt and damage.
• Low-End Plate and Safety Curb: Copperloy also includes the low-end plate and safety curb to improve forklift access, in addition to the 8-foot level off. The 7-inch safety curb simply exists to prevent runoff. The low-end plate is lower than the wheelbase of a forklift, allowing the forklift’s front wheels to access the grating while the back tires stay on the ground.
• Solid/Pneumatic Tires: Copperloy’s yard ramp also use more efficient tires. Other ramps on the market typically use air-filled tires, which require regular maintenance. Copperloy ramps employ solid tires, which do not require constant maintenance and refilling.
