JD-2008Mobile Yard Ramp
A movable ramp arrangement for access between yard level and a vehicle deck.
Yard Ramps
Explore loading from ground level. Start with the application and site interfaces, then confirm the equipment configuration.
What is this equipment used for?
A mobile yard ramp provides an inclined transfer route between yard level and a vehicle deck. Compare the vehicle height, available yard space, ground conditions and handling-equipment limitations before proposing a configuration.
Ground-level loading
vehicle deck height and approach space.
Container operations
container position and handling route.
Temporary loading locations
ground bearing conditions and ramp positioning.

Planning paths to review, with suitability confirmed against the actual site.
Does this approach fit your site?
Begin with vehicle variation, local installation scope and delivery documentation.
Review before selection
- Ground bearing conditions
- Vehicle deck heights
- Forklift gradeability and operating weight
Unsuitable where the site cannot provide the necessary space, structural support or safe operating envelope. Confirm these constraints before comparing configurations.

JD-2008What changes the specification?
- Ground bearing conditions
- Vehicle deck heights
- Forklift gradeability and operating weight
Quantity, site access, installation responsibilities and required documentation also affect the agreed scope. Price and delivery are confirmed against a defined configuration.
Records before order
Agree the relevant dimensions, material or component identification, control requirements and inspection evidence. Use the latest drawing revision for interface checks.

Questions before you specify
What should I provide before requesting a configuration?
Ground bearing conditions, Vehicle deck heights, Forklift gradeability and operating weight. Include drawings and photographs where available. Missing information should be identified explicitly so the supplier can confirm the relevant interface rather than assume it.
Are the displayed illustrations the final configuration?
No. Supplier illustrations identify a product family. The equipment configuration, dimensions, controls and installation details must be agreed for the project before order.
Can the equipment be coordinated with doors?
Door requirements can be included in the project brief. JBL Entrance is our sister company for the door scope. Door and dock information remain separate while opening and control interfaces are coordinated.
How are replacement components identified?
Provide the original equipment identification, component photographs and dimensions. Supply availability and compatibility require confirmation; a similar appearance or product name is not sufficient to select a replacement.
Guides for selection and project planning
Product illustrationStart with the right height.
How to determine loading dock height
Determine the dock height from the vehicles and handling process the bay must serve. Record the range of vehicle deck heights and operating conditions before selecting the equipment or fixing the civil design.
Product illustrationsNo fixed dock? Compare your options.
Ground-level loading: yard ramp or scissor lift dock leveler?
A yard ramp uses an inclined travel route; a scissor lift dock leveler changes the transfer height with a platform. Compare available space, vehicle height, handling method and load distribution before choosing an approach for a site without a fixed dock.
Supplier reference photoCapacity is more than a label.
Dock leveler capacity: is forklift lifting capacity enough?
No. A forklift lifting-capacity label does not describe the total moving load imposed on a dock leveler. Provide the truck operating weight, attachments, maximum carried load, wheel and axle information, travel conditions and frequency. Ask the supplying manufacturer to confirm the rating basis and suitability of the proposed configuration.
