May 14, 2010, Newsletter Issue #217: What Is A Protector Ramp?

Tip of the Week

Protector ramps are used when an operation has a piece of pipe, cable, or other "in-the-roadway" items that cannot be moved, and must be protected from damage. The protector ramp is laid over the pipe or hose, allowing hand trucks, dollies, and similar traffic to move across the area without damaging the pipe or hose. The protector ramp prevents any weight or impact to the pipe or hose, making it very useful indeed. It's important to keep in mind that these units are made for specific weight ratios. Don't assume they can handle vehicles such as cars or forklifts unless they are specifically rated for such large weight.
