An overload bypass is a safety feature included on some models of yard ramp. This is designed to prevent damage from a load being put on the yard ramp while the wheels are still engaged. Some yard ramps come equipped with an overload bypass as standard equipment. If you have routine heavy transport that requires a yard ramp, it's best to purchase one with this safety feature included for maximum protection. Other safety features that are equally important are called load binders, which are used to secure the ramp to a dock or other work area. Never work with a yard ramp that is not secured to the work surface.
