Loading ramps

Loading ramps are the ideal aids for the safe, efficient and ergonomic loading and unloading of vans and other transport vehicles. These portable ramps compensate for height differences between the floor or ramp and the loading area and make it easier to safely load goods or transport vehicles. Aluminium loading ramps are particularly effective and offer the following advantages:

• high load capacity
• they are lightweight and easy to transport
• robust construction with reinforced areas for additional stability
• perforated surface and support tongue for a secure hold
• made of weather-resistant aluminium

Use a single aluminium loading ramp to comfortably load a two-wheeled vehicle, such as a motorbike, or use them as a set to efficiently load goods with a hand truck, trolley or other transporting equipment. Depending on your needs, you can also find a selection of loading aids in the Jungheinrich PROFISHOP online store. These include transport rollers, which are ideal for transporting very heavy items.

1. Our selection of loading ramps

If you regularly load and unload vans, then you should consider keeping a set of portable loading ramps as an aid. Being both lightweight and easy to store, these loading aids are a great addition to any manual handling fleet. They allow for efficient goods handling in any location, help to improve efficiency and workflow and reduce strain on staff.

Our selection of aluminium loading ramps are not only sturdy and robust, but they are also weather-resistant to enable work in all conditions. The perforated surface profile of the ramps is non-slip and ensures for secure footing during use, even in poor weather.

2. Load-bearing capacity

Not only do the length and width of the loading ramps play an important role, but the maximum load-bearing capacity also needs to be suitable for the job. If lightweight loading ramps are not sufficient for the loading and unloading operations required, it is best to use heavy-duty ramps. The models available in our shop offer a maximum load capacity of up to 150kg per ramp. Note: When choosing a set of loading ramps, make sure to check whether the values shown reflect the load capacity per ramp or per set.

3. Keep height differences in mind

To compensate for height differences between the floor or ramp and the loading area of a transport vehicle, you should select loading ramps of a sufficient height. Assuming a 30-degree angle of inclination, you can bridge height differences of up to 1310mm with our aluminium loading ramps, depending on the model.

Some of our models also feature support tongues, which can be hooked around the edge of the loading vehicle to provide extra support and stability. They also prevent the rails from slipping off the loading surface, even at higher angles of inclination. To ensure safe loading and unloading, you should always take the maximum permissible angle of inclination into account when attaching loading ramps to the loading area. The models available in the Jungheinrich PROFISHOP are suitable for slopes up to a maximum incline of 30%.
