Mobile yard ramp for heavy equipment
June 1st 2008

A mobile yard ramp from Thorworld Industries is providing the loading and unloading solution for heavy construction equipment at the Terex facility in Warwick.

It is used for offloading new machines transported in containers or on standard 40ft long trailers. The machines are stored on site prior to delivery to UK dealers and customers, then driven up the yard ramp and loaded on to trailers or into containers.

Thorworld built the special 15,000kg single axle capacity ramp, with a useable width of 2650mm instead of the standard 2250mm width, so that it could be used with the widest and heaviest machines handled (12.5t excavators). The ramp has a serrated open grid deck for positive traction in all weather conditions, with a hand-operated hydraulic pump raising it to the required height. Although screwed to the ground the screws can be removed, and a built-in tow bar allows the ramp to be moved by forklift.
