Should I buy a yard ramp or build a concrete ramp?

Why A Yard Ramp?

Yard ramps are often overlooked as a cost-saving method. If you are moving into a new building that has a dock area or warehouse storage section without a ramp, a yard ramp may work just as well in some cases as having a concrete ramp built to order. Those who need ramp access in "long-term temporary" situations can use a yard ramp in such a way. The key here is to check the weight ratios. Your ramp must be rated for the amount of weight you'll need to put on it on a daily basis. If the math matches up, the yard ramp can be an excellent alternative to having a ramp built to suit.
