Forklift Ramps, Vancouver, BC, Canada

An Introduction to Forklift Ramps

Forklift ramps, aka lift truck ramps, are available in a wide range of lengths, widths, capacities and so on to suit a multitude of different applications.

Although there are many different standard sizes and styles to choose from, there are also a variety of custom options available to match any work environment.

Steel and aluminum forklift ramps are an excellent, less costly alternative when compared to permanent docks typically made out of concrete, dirt, gravel and asphalt.

In addition, portable aluminum and steel forklift ramps offer exceptional value and versatility not found with stationary forklift ramps.

With the quick installation of a simple attachment onto the forks of a forklift, these ramps can be chained to this attachment allowing the forklift to move the ramp on wheels around the yard effortlessly if a change in ramp location is required.

When choosing a lift truck ramp, it’s very important to make sure the ramp has been designed and certified by a professional engineer and that it meets all the necessary safety regulations for your area.
