BeaconTechnology.com Tip: Yard ramps are equipped with wheels to help transport the ramp to the work site, but it's very important to check the owner manual when it comes to weight ratings for the wheels. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the wheels are designed for transport only, and are not built to carry a load. If you don't retract or disengage the wheels and put a load on the yard ramps, you create a safety hazard where the wheels may collapse or buckle under the pressure. You also risk voiding any warranty on yard ramps.
