Aluminum mobile yard ramps are lighter and easier to use than their steel counterparts. These mobile yard ramps are available with aluminum grating or steel grating.

These ramps are especially handy when no dock is available for a loading or unloading. Capacities for these yard ramps range from 16,000 pounds to 30,000 pounds and come in a wide range of lengths and widths. If you are renting a mobile yard ramp it's very important to check the width of the ramp you are considering--does your material handling equipment have the clearance to operate on the ramp you are buying?

This not only includes tire width, but also the width of the cargo loaded on the forklift or other equipment. The mobile yard ramp can easily accommodate cargo and equipment, but be sure to double check your cargo weight ratios against the capacity of the ramp before renting.
