Portable Steel Platforms, Loading Docks & RampsSupporting the Material Handling Industry
Brazos Manufacturing offers an almost endless number of configurations of steel platforms. Whenever you need a rock-solid working surface for your loading / unloading operations; or as a transition between buildings or docks, we have the solution. These can be portable or permanently set in place. Many times they are used in concert with a Brazos Steel Yard Ramp for a complete loading dock solution.
Combinations of our steel platforms and ramp products will support from simple to complex Cross Docking. That is a supply chain management tool that allows received goods to be quickly shipped out without the “sitting in the warehouse” expense. Ask one of the Brazos Bunch about that.
Portable Loading Docks Often Beat Concrete Ramps as Solution
We often find our loading dock products competing with concrete ramps. Let us tell you now that there is usually no contest. Steel platforms win and in most cases you will find steel platforms provide:
- Cost Efficiency: Steel platforms are generally less expensive than constructing concrete ramps.
- Portability: Unlike fixed concrete ramps, steel platforms can be moved and reused in different locations.
- Flexibility: Steel platforms can be easily reconfigured to meet changing needs.
- No Permit Required: Installing a steel platform typically does not require a permit, unlike concrete construction.
- Faster Depreciation: Steel platforms can be depreciated faster on financial books, potentially offering tax benefits.
- Resale Value: If no longer needed, steel platforms can be sold, unlike concrete ramps which are permanent.
Each portable loading dock is engineered and built using structural steel, diamond deck plating and serrated grating. Optional guard rail ensures safe operation by limiting access or allowing protection from slipping or falling. When one compares the cost of our steel platforms to those made of concrete, especially when one factors in portability, a Brazos Manufacturing platform quickly becomes the best answer to your problem.
Custom-Designed, Unique to Your Applications
Many times a single module of 8’x10′ or 8’x15′ will solve your need. If you require a larger platform then ask the Brazos engineering team to give you a hand. We will develop a complete custom solution, provide you a plan view and then build and set up your platform in our facility. After a quality check on build and fit, we will disassemble and ship your new dock. By using our ability to create practically any design to meet your specific needs, then it is obvious that Brazos Manufacturing is the best choice for rugged, durable portable steel platforms.
