Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of forklift ramps

Container ramp is a detachable mobile device that helps forklifts easily move up and down containers (also commonly known as a container yard ramp). The product helps businesses reduce time, save labor, and cut unrelated costs while still ensuring outstanding productivity.

Standard dimensions of the container ramp

• Length: 13000mm
• Height: 2100mm
• Sloped deck length: 3500mm
• Inclined deck length: 8500mm

In addition, the dimensions of the forklift ramp, the lifting capacity of the container ramp, and the paint color can all be manufactured by Naltako according to customers’ requirements.

Advantages of container ramps

The market is growing strongly with fierce competition; therefore, apart from ensuring quality factors, minimizing production costs and lowering prices to improve product competitiveness is an issue worth paying attention to.

Fastest loading, unloading and delivery, lowest shipping prices, ensuring cargo safety during transit. To ensure the above needs, the “perfect duo” of Forklifts – Forklift Ramps is indispensable.

Fastest loading and unloading of goods

As you can see, without a container ramp, the forklift still has to stand at the outer edge of the container to pick up goods manually. With the help of the container ramp, the forklift only has to run up to load/unload and run down to get goods, reducing the time for fetching goods and increasing the work efficiency of the forklift.

Currently, Naltako also provides mobile forklift ramps to make the transportation process flexible and suitable for many different types of vehicles.

Cost saving

When the forklift fetches goods manually, it comes with extra costs for auxiliary operations, and time for loading or unloading. Sometimes it is unsafe for people and goods. Meanwhile, low loading efficiency leads to increased transportation costs accordingly.

Ensuring cargo safety during transportation

When loading goods into containers, optimizing the arrangement space is always a difficult problem. Optimal arrangement helps pack more goods, and goods will not be displaced during transportation, ensuring cargo safety. Especially for large and heavy goods, using a container ramp for the forklift to move inside the container to load and unload is the best solution.

Particularly, for businesses with a large volume of loading and unloading goods, the use of container ramps is becoming increasingly necessary. It helps businesses:

• Load and unload goods as quickly as possible to ensure on-time delivery.
• Clear the daily volume of loaded/unloaded goods the fastest, limiting losses and saving space for the business.
• Bringing the forklift onto the container for loading/unloading avoids damaging the container floor like manual methods, which could lead to compensation.
• Stacking goods according to specifications, ensuring cargo safety. Along with maximizing the amount of goods per trip…

Currently, many units also apply container ramps integrated with hydraulic dock leveler systems to make the loading and unloading process safe and efficient.

Disadvantages of container ramps

Hard to move

The container ramp is designed into two modules connected together to form a complete system. The beam frame of the ramp includes two I300 beams with strong load-bearing capacity, placed in parallel along the 13m long ramp body.

The I300 beams are installed at locations where forklift wheels pass over, making it complicated to move the ramp out of the space, especially for the 6-ton to 15-ton forklift container ramps. And this movement is usually not done frequently.

Few functions

Container ramps are often used specifically for loading and unloading goods from containers. Besides, when there is no loading/unloading task, the ramp is not used for other purposes.

High cost

Purchasing a container ramp involves a large cost. Typically, the product is only for large businesses and factories, not suitable for individuals or households. Not to mention the user has to spend considerable costs and requires spacious areas to place the ramp.
