Various types of ramps can be used in the workplace. One of the most important types for operations with frequent truck loading and unloading is the heavy duty fiberglass walk ramp. This is a very good ergonomic solution for loading and unloading because the ramp keeps workers from straining their backs climbing in and out of the rear of the truck.

These ramps allow workers to use dollies, fork trucks and other equipment to move loads from truck to dockside, and many of these ramps have capacities up to 5,000 pounds. Backaches and slippage are a thing of the past with a ramp which allows for a gradual walking incline instead of a steep step up into the loading area of the truck.
