Steel Wheel riser ramps are truck ramps designed to elevate a semi-trailer to the loading dock for loading and unloading. With up to a 40,000 pound capacity per pair, this is an excellent piece of equipment to have in a semi to cope with loading areas of varying heights.

If you are in the market for this kind of truck ramp, you should consider the optional pre-aligned and pre-spaced model. This option is a major convenience and safety factor---a lift truck can simply lower the pre-aligned truck ramps into place. The pre-spacing and aligning eliminates guesswork and increases the overall safety of the operation. It does not eliminate the need for a spotter, however. Even though the truck ramp is 'ready for use' a second person will be needed to insure the truck wheels are properly engaged with the ramp.
