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.

  Scarcroft and District Allotments Association in York have used two containers from Universal - one 20' unmodified new container as a store and one 40' new container insulated and supplied with electrics package and two secure windows and a secure accessible door as a shop- to replace their 50+ year-old wooden hut used as a shop and association base.  Shaun McWilliams (project engineer) has been our main contact at Universal with oversight and support from Carl Jeffries (project manager).  They have been hugely supportive through a long process.  Nothing has been too much trouble for Shaun, adapting plans and offering choices at every stage - always friendly, imaginative and flexible.  We'd recommend Universal without reservation for any project involving shipping containers.
