Detailed Structure of the 16-Ton Forklift Ramp

Forklift ramp is a powerful support device in cargo handling. Understanding the structure of the ramp helps in using it effectively and safely.

A forklift ramp usually consists of two main parts: the ramp body and the landing gears.

Ramp Body

• Lip plate: This is the ground-contact part of the ramp, made of high-strength, durable steel. The lip plate has a suitable tilt angle, helping the forklift move up/down the ramp easily.
• Slope section: The slope is fabricated from shaped steel with a solid beam structure. The floor of the slope is made of 4-6mm thick anti-slip checkered plate. Therefore, it ensures safety for the forklift when moving.
• Flat section: The flat section is the area where the forklift performs cargo handling operations from the container.
• Connecting plate: The connecting plate is made of steel and serves to connect the ramp with the truck bed.
• Safety chain: The safety chain is made of high-durability steel, helping to lock the ramp to the container/truck, ensuring safety during use.

Landing Gears

• Landing gears: The landing gear is the main load-bearing part of the ramp, made of steel. The internal hydraulic system allows raising and lowering the 16-ton forklift ramp flexibly with a height from 1350mm to 1650mm.
• PU Wheels: PU wheels are made of high-durability PU plastic, helping to move the ramp to different positions easily.

Operating Principle of the 16-Ton Forklift Ramp

Operating principle of the hydraulic forklift ramp:

• Moving and positioning: The operator uses a forklift to move the ramp to the cargo handling position. Ensure the contact surface between the landing gears and the ground is flat and solid.
• Lowering landing gears: Use the hand crank or hydraulic controller to lower the landing gears. The gears will slowly descend while creating a slope for the ramp.
• Adjusting height: Continue lowering the landing gears until the ramp edge is level with the truck floor height.
• Securing the ramp: After reaching the desired height, fix and hold the ramp in a stable position. Next, use the safety chain to lock the ramp to the truck so it does not shift.
• Lowering connecting plate and lip: Lower the connecting plate to connect the ramp with the truck. The lip will automatically lower, creating a contact surface between the ramp and the truck floor.
• Moving the forklift: At this point, the forklift can move into the truck to load/unload goods.
• Retracting the ramp: After completing the work, remove the safety chain and lift the connecting plate. Use the hand crank or hydraulic controller to raise the landing gears and retract the ramp. Finally, move the ramp to the storage area using a forklift.
