Frequently Asked Questions

What type of ramp do I need for loading and unloading my container?

That depends on what you’ll be loading and how often. Plastic or aluminium ramps are ideal for lighter loads and frequent loading and unloading, while steel ramps rated from 6.5 T to 8 T are better suited for heavier equipment and demanding site work.

Will your ramps fit all container types?

Yes. All our ramps are designed for standard and high-cube containers, matching the typical floor height and door width.

Are your shipping container ramps suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. All our ramps include non-slip surfaces to provide stable, secure access in all weather conditions.

Can pallet trucks and trolleys use these ramps?

Yes. Our heavy-duty ramps are built for common site equipment including pallet trucks, trolleys, and general site machinery. Just make sure the load and ramp rating match, and that the ramp surface is clean and clear for smooth rolling.

Can one person move the ramps?

Lightweight plastic and aluminium ramps can typically be handled by one or two people. Heavy-duty steel ramps may require a forklift or pallet truck for positioning due to their weight and size.
