Generally speaking, all our ramps carry whatever warranty is provided by the manufacturer. Further, every factory offers just about the same 1-Year Warranty.
Level-off is essential so fork tines are parallel with the ground when working the back-end of the truck or container or rail car.
The idea is to simply secure the ramp in such a way so it will not shimmy or vibrate off the dock when in use.
When off-loading...the forklift driver will use a Lifting Sling with loops for the fork tine to slip through and lift.
