Movable dock ramp operating principle

The mobile ramp is used in warehouses for unloading/loading vehicles with the possibility of adjusting the height of the ramp itself. The main advantage of the mobile ramp is its mobility. The ramp can be easily moved with a forklift between unloading points or to any other place on the facility where logistics processes take place.

Additional options Advantages

OPT-EHP - electric hydraulic station instead of manual.

OPT-EHMP - electric hydraulic station and manual pump.

OPT-4WL - additional pair of wheels.

OPT-2SL3SW - three-sided unloading mobile ramp. Supplied with safety legs.

OPT-TC - tent сover over the ramp, mountable.

OPT-2SL - safety legs adjustable in height, increase safety.

OPT-HR - additional protective hand railings, mountable.

OPT-CLR - different color.

The mobile ramp height adjustment is carried out with the help of reliable hydraulics i.e. external power supply is not required.

The chain reliably connects the ramp to all kinds of trucks.

The wheel chock (brake) fixes the ramp while the loader is working on it. It comes complete with a ramp.

The grid surface of the ramp provides excellent wheel grip, even in severe frosts. Water, dirt, snow and other substances freely seep through the grid holes, so nothing impedes the loader movement.

The forklift can transport the mobile ramp both forward and backward as it features a special attachment for a rigid coupling even in a small warehouse area.

The entry bridge (the point where the ramp and the truck contact) is made of an strengthened plate which is up to 20 mm thick. It ensures outstanding reliability the intensive use requires.

FAQ

1. What is the loading ramp used for?

A loading dock ramp is used to organise loading and unloading operations when warehouse equipment needs to overcome the height difference between working levels.

Depending on the design, the ramp allows for:

load and unload trucks, semi-trailers, and containers;
organise the movement of forklifts, electric forklifts, and stackers between the warehouse and the ground level;
work with vehicles of different heights;
serve non-standard, heavy, or oversized equipment;
organise a permanent or temporary loading area.

For non-standard tasks, the design of a mobile loading ramp can be adapted in terms of dimensions, working height, load capacity, and configuration for specific equipment and the operating conditions of the enterprise.

2. How to choose the right loading ramp?

When choosing a loading ramp for trucks or containers, it is necessary to consider not only its dimensions but also the parameters of the equipment, transport, and cargo. The main criteria are:

load capacity – determined by taking into account the weight of the forklift and the maximum weight of the transported cargo, plus a 10% safety margin;
working height – must correspond to the height of the truck body, container, or loading area;
usable width – selected based on the dimensions of the equipment and the cargo to be loaded/unloaded, as well as the required side clearance;
length and slope – must ensure safe equipment entry, taking into account its ground clearance and maximum permissible incline;
design type – mobile, fixed, container, or a custom-designed ramp;
operating conditions – work intensity, the condition of the unloading/loading area (even or uneven surface where the equipment is installed), and whether it operates indoors or outdoors.

If a standard model does not meet one or more parameters, AUSBAU can design a custom mobile loading ramp with individual dimensions, load capacity, and construction for specific operating conditions.

3. Is it possible to manufacture a mobile ramp based on the customer’s specifications?

Yes. AUSBAU can design a mobile loading ramp for trucks, containers, and railcars according to the customer's drawings, sketches, or technical specifications. Before manufacturing, our engineers verify the initial data, perform the necessary calculations, and adapt the design to the type of equipment, cargo characteristics, work intensity, and operating conditions.

For each custom project, a set of production drawings is developed, according to which the loading ramp is manufactured. If the drawings provided by the customer do not contain the necessary calculations or do not meet safety requirements, the AUSBAU design department refines the project and offers a technically sound solution.

4. What is the weight limit for loading dock ramps?

The maximum permissible load capacity of a loading ramp is determined not only by the cargo weight but also by the total weight of the forklift and the transported cargo, as well as the load distribution on the ramp structure.

When designing ramps, the following factors are considered:

the weight of the equipment along with the maximum weight of the cargo;
the type and dimensions of the equipment used;
the nature and intensity of operation;
the required dimensions and design of the ramp.

For non-standard tasks, AUSBAU manufactures heavy-duty mobile ramps with a load capacity of up to 50 tons. For ramps with an increased load capacity, an individual calculation and strengthening of the structure are performed, taking into account specific operating conditions.

Since AUSBAU is a manufacturer, we can fully adapt the ramp design to the required load capacity by modifying the dimensions, the supporting structure, the number and location of supports, the riding surface, and other elements. This allows us to design a custom loading ramp for specific equipment, cargo, and the technological processes of the enterprise.

5. How much do ramp usually cost?

The price of a mobile loading ramp depends not only on the specified load capacity. The cost, reliability, and service life are influenced by:

length of ramp – a short construction is cheaper but increases the slope and may not be suitable for a specific forklift or other equipment;
usable width – a narrow ramp is cheaper but can limit work with some forklifts and oversized cargo;
riding surface – the quality and type of grating affect wheel grip, wear, and service life when using different types of equipment;
metal construction – the metal thickness and characteristics of the frame's load-bearing elements affect the strength and durability of the ramp;
hydraulic system – the quality of the hydraulics affects reliability and maintenance costs;
metal preparation and painting – the quality of the coating determines the structure's protection against corrosion;
safety features and equipment – securing chains, wheel chocks, safety railings, and additional options also affect the price.

Therefore, a low price does not always mean savings. A ramp that is too short or too narrow may not fit the existing equipment, and saving on metal, grating, hydraulics, or protective coating can increase repair costs and shorten the service life. AUSBAU loading dock ramps are designed for long-term intensive use and retain their value over time. Even after many years of operation, AUSBAU ramps are sold on the secondary market and continue to be used at enterprises.

6. What safety measures are required on a loading ramp for trucks and containers?

Depending on the design of the loading ramp or platform, the equipment used, and the operating conditions, AUSBAU offers a wide selection of additional options that enhance the safety and convenience of loading and unloading operations:

safety legs – adjustable in height, they increase the stability of the ramp and provide additional safety during operation;
three-sided unloading mobile ramp with safety legs – allows organising work from several sides with additional fixation of the structure;
additional protective hand railings – increase the safety of employees and pedestrians while on the ramp or platform;
tent cover over the ramp – protects the working area from rain, snow, and other precipitation;
electric hydraulic station – replaces the manual hydraulic system;
electric hydraulic station and manual pump – allow using electric adjustment with backup manual control;
additional wheels – used for local movement of the ramp or platform.

Since AUSBAU is a manufacturer, the possibilities are not limited to the standard list of additional options. We can modify the design of the mobile ramp, combine various elements, and develop customized technical solutions according to the customer's requirements, the equipment used, and specific operating conditions.
