December 28, 2007, Newsletter Issue #95: Shopping for Steel Wheel Riser Ramps

Tip of the Week

BeaconTechnology.com Tip: If you have semi-trailers backing up into your loading dock, it's important that the steel wheel riser ramps elevate a vehicle with maximum stability and serviceability.

But when they aren't in use, you don't want the steel wheel riser ramps to be in the way of your business. Look for ramps that store easily in confined spaces and are stackable.

When shopping for a ramp, know that they are sold and priced separately, and not in pairs. You can find them in varying widths and heights. If you often have semi-trailers arriving on site, you should look for the 24" steel wheel riser ramps because these trucks have dual wheels that are 18" wide.

Each pair can hold up to 40,000 pounds, so keep that in mind when considering what type of vehicles will be placed on the risers.
