Fresh Perspectives on our Quality Loading Dock Inventory
As part of our long-term strategy, we’ve been studying how we display our new and used stationary and mobile yard ramps and, more importantly, what we offer.
The issue is credibility. As you’re looking around and considering whether to work with us or with someone else, here are five challenges for you to place on any dealer you talk to:
1. Our Rental Inventory
Is the posted Rental Inventory actual rental inventory? Are they real ramps that can actually be purchased?
Real pricing, real ramps: Since the beginning of our operations in 2011, The Yard Ramp Guy has consistently presented and rented yard ramps to our customers. It’s a tangible innovation in our industry. Others say they rent. The Yard Ramp Guy actually does.
2. Our Used Inventory
Used ramps are hard to come by, though that’s not for our lack of trying. We’re the only company in the country that sets out every day seeking to buy used ramps and seeking to match them up with buyers of used ramps. Every day. No other company in the U.S. is focused on used ramps the way we are, and therefore we offer them up more consistently.
Our competitors say they have used yard ramp inventory. But do they? We’re the only dealer of yard ramps that also offers a cash-back program to anyone who buys a yard ramp, new or used, from us. Why do we do that? The fastest way for us to find yard ramp sellers is to invite our customers to become sellers when they’re done with their ramp. For manufacturers, buying back what they produced is not typically part of their business model. If you’re trying to sell a used yard ramp, you’ll want to call us. Because we have a lot of lookers.
3. Our Live Locator Map
We like the simplicity of the listings pages for our Rental Inventory and Used Inventory, and we regularly freshen these listings with new photos submitted by our customers and depots. We share information in a dynamic way—each with its own listing and current photos, each one a real, actual ramp for rent and for sale.
And we regularly update their locations to reflect nearly-real-time positioning on our industry-leading Live Locator Map.
We challenge you to find any other competitor in our industry who offers such a map. Others may have maps, though they’re static screenshots—not live, not real-time, not interactive.
4. Distribution Network Map
We like how easy it is to find a yard ramp and navigate to any given listing. With that in mind, we’re pleased to present our newly designed Distribution Network Map.
Simply click on your state, and you’ll see a fresh state-specific page that includes our current inventory within the most favorable freight lanes (resulting in reduced delivery and return freight costs).
5. The “YAR” Difference
Our new yard ramps from Bluff Manufacturing sport “YAR” in the SKU. These reflect features exclusive to The Yard Ramp Guy, at no additional charge, both for our new Stationary Dock Ramps and new Mobile Yard Ramps.
We’re quite proud to offer these and we’ll be talking much more about it in the first quarter of 2018. We think our “YAR” line of yard ramps demonstrate The Yard Ramp Guy’s innovation and leadership within the industry.

The issue is credibility. We believe The Yard Ramp Guy’s approach and presentation reflect credibility, integrity, and honesty. We thank you for the opportunity to earn your business.
