Important Information: Container Ramps

When selecting a container ramp, it’s crucial to consider the gross weight of your forklift, not just its rated capacity. Additionally, you must account for the weight of the load being handled.

For example, if you are using a 3.5-ton forklift with a gross weight of 6 tons to load a 2-ton pallet, the total weight is not 3.5 tons + 2 tons = 5.5 tons.  Instead. it’s 6 tons + 2 tons = 8 tons

Key Points to Remember:

Gross Weight Calculation: Always use the gross weight of the forklift plus the weight of the load.
Compatibility: These ramps are designed strictly for 4-wheel forklifts to unload shipping containers. They are not suitable for reach trucks or any loaders with narrow poly wheels.
