How Do Durable Van Ramps Transform a Space?
Delivery drivers, movers, and others couldn’t get very far without quality van ramps. The right ramp allows for easy loading and unloading with dollies, hand trucks, and two-wheeled carts.
Do you need to find the right van ramp for your space and your project goals? While budget is important, there are a variety of other factors that are just as critical to consider when purchasing or renting a van ramp. See below to find out about some of the most important considerations that come into play as you choose a ramp to fit your material handling operations.
How Should I Choose the Best Van Ramp for My Space?
Don’t rely on one-size-fits-all van ramps for your material handling operations. Your loading dock has its own layout and your team has its own goals. In most cases, the longer the van ramp, the safer the movement as the incline is lower. A greater length also makes a ramp more compatible across multiple vehicles.
What kind of work surface will your van ramp encounter? One-piece ramps tend to work best with softer terrains, while twin-lock installations are often more compatible with rough surfaces.
What material handling safety equipment do you have available in your space? Do you have all you need? Most teams will only need lifting straps along with protective headwear and eye protection. However, some ramps do require designated lifting chains or other pieces, so confirm with a manufacturer you have all necessary safety accessories before using your ramp.
