The Beauty of Used Ramp Inventory
A steel yard ramp in use: flexible loading dock access without needing permanent infrastructure.
When it comes to moving freight safely and efficiently, an industrial yard ramp is a serious asset. But buying new isn’t always necessary—or economical. For many businesses, a used yard ramp delivers the same value at a significantly lower cost.
Let’s break down why buying used might be one of the smartest moves you’ll make for your operation.
1. Save Big Without Sacrificing Performance
The most obvious benefit? Cost savings. A new yard ramp can run thousands of dollars. Used ramps often cost much less than new.
You still get:
- Heavy-duty all-steel construction
- High load capacity (20K lbs or more)
- Built-in mobility features like solid-rubber tires
- Hydraulic or hand crank height adjustment systems
It’s everything you need—without the new-equipment price tag.
2. Fully Inspected & Ready to Work
Reputable sellers (like The Yard Ramp Guy) inspect and refurbish their used inventory. That means what you’re getting isn’t just “used”—it’s field-tested and performance-ready.
That means our “Immediately” available inventory has been checked and is currently ready for pickup or delivery. It could be on your dock in days, not weeks. No surprises. Just steel you can trust.
3. Strong Resale Value
We’re telling everybody: industrial yard ramps hold their value. If your business grows or shifts, and you no longer need the ramp? Sell it.
Used equipment from trusted manufacturers like Bluff, Mid-State, and continues to move well on the secondary market—especially when well-maintained.
Don’t have time to deal with the details of selling? We do. (Remember: it’s what we do.) Talk to us about The Yard Ramp Guy Seller Program.
4. Sustainable Choice
Buying used isn’t just good for your bottom line—it’s good for the environment. Reusing equipment keeps steel out of landfills and reduces the demand for newly manufactured goods. It’s an easy way to make your logistics operation a little greener.
How It All Adds Up
If your business needs to add forklift access, expand your loading zone, or handle freight more efficiently, a used yard ramp is a smart, budget-friendly option. You get dependable equipment, fast delivery, and long-term value—all without the premium price.

This week, we thought our man McCoy Fields had gone a bit Terminator on us. But then he gave us a taste of humor that only McCoy has, and and now we’re (pretty) sure he’s still human. Along the way, he describes a conversation we had recently about adapting the AI revolution to our customers’ needs.
