When you have a business that requires a forklift for loading and unloading trucks, or moving your product from the back lot into your showroom, the ramp can be even more important than the forklift. If you buy an inferior ramp or just one not strong enough for your needs, there could be an accident which could cause injury to your forklift or products, or, worse yet, to your employees, so it is extremely important you know what you need in a ramp.

How you find this information can determine the difference between frustration or satisfaction, as well as the amount of time, energy and money it costs you. When you call a dealer, they may be very helpful; however, keep in mind they are there to sell their ramp, and probably the one that has been sitting in the yard forever instead of the best one for your needs. Couple with the fact that there are a lot of options you can get, and if they are on commission, they want to make as much on this sale as they can.

When you go online, you can find all sorts of information, in fact some places are there to help you figure out what type of ramp you need and explain the differences, rather than sell you one. When you do start looking to buy, there are a wide variety of them, and you will need to have some basic information before your start. Will your ramp be used predominantly for getting from the ground up to your loading dock or will you be moving it frequently to load and unload trucks? You need to know the weight of your loads and all the specs on the forklifts for sale. For ramps to load and unload trucks, it is recommended that you have a flat surface at the top. Since this ramp will have to be moved and set back up frequently, you should look at how much time this takes, as well as the ease to do it, but do not rule out those without wheels as many with mechanical landing jacks are fast and easy to move and set up. The ramps vary a lot in weight capacity and have widths up to 7'11" and are constructed of steel or aluminum, so while you are on their website, check out the return policies, available warranty or guarantees.
