We would like to thank The Yard Ramp Guy for making 4 ramps for us and delivering to 4 different locations in 4 different states.

The process was seamless from start to finish. There was great communication along the way: we knew when our ramp would be scheduled, manufactured, and delivered. The video you sent us was very helpful for our managers to know what was coming, how it was loaded, and how to unload it.

Trucks were scheduled and arrived within the window you gave us. The ramps are fantastic and work well. The manufacturing looks amazing. Thank you, Yard Ramp Guy, for a nice process and product.

Short and Long-term Loading Dock Options for Warehouses and Other Industries

From Recycling to Event Planning and from Retail to Automotive and Food Processing, The Yard Ramp Guy is proud to help place our yard ramps with businesses in some of the highest revenue-generating industries in the nation.

The goal and the results: improving and streamlining your workflow.

Our short-term yard ramp rentals provide delivery of your ramp anywhere you need it. When a large sporting event producer needs to load and offload a million pounds of staging equipment for a four-day event at an outdoor arena without loading docks, they call The Yard Ramp Guy.

For warehouses with temporary surges in shipment processing, we offer longer-term rental options to prevent standstills in productivity of loading and unloading of seasonal freight.

Whether you're looking for permanent or temporary loading ramp solutions, our new and used yard ramps continue to help streamline our customers' business operations.

It was a pleasure working with your team. You had the best price. Sometimes the best price does not always come with the best experience, but it seems y’all have it figured out. Special kudos to Jim. He was a hoot to work with. He hooked us up good with the delivery and pick up of the ramp. He was on top of things and kept us apprised of the situation every step of the way. I will be recommending The Yard Ramp Guy any chance I get.

Yard Ramp Features & Specifications

Yard ramps from The Yard Ramp Guy include many standard features and options enabling you to get the yard ramp that best suits your needs.

Use these guidelines to easily determine the most efficient and effective ramp for your application.

You can easily move a quality yard ramp into position at trailers, railcars, or loading docks.

The operator utilizes a self-contained, double-acting hydraulic pump to adjust the ramp unit to the proper position. In minutes, you are ready to load or unload freight.

Solid 18" rubber tires facilitate easy positioning and towing.

Open serrated steel grating provides excellent forklift traction while preventing build-up of snow, water, and other debris.

Beveled approach assures a smooth transition.

For truck-to-ground or railcar-to-ground loading applications choose a 36' unit including a level off.

Choose a 30' straight design for quick loading dock-to-ground applications.
