What is a Forklift Ramp

By Ron Gilleland

The term “forklift ramp” can span a wide list of products all having the same function. That is to allow a forklift truck to travel across a space. Sometimes with a change in height relative to its starting point.

By this definition a curb ramp, dock board, rail board or yard ramp all qualify.

The length, width and capacity of each is determined by the job at hand. A curb ramp or dock board may be 3′ or 4′ long while a mobile yard ramp may be 30′ to 40′ or longer to allow for a forklift truck with it load to gain or loose the height difference between the ground and the loading dock or truck bed.
