About Our Products
The Yard Ramp Guy has worked with its preferred factories to offer not only hydraulic mobile ramps but 2-gear hand-crank versions as well. In either case, one person can maneuver the ramp into place at the back of a truck, railcar, container or dock using a forklift. One person can also level and secure the ramp in a matter of minutes.

Terms + Conditions
All orders require 100% Prepayment prior to order processing. Our streamlined 21st century business model means we limit our overhead. For this and other reasons, we offer the industry’s best pricing across the entire line of yard ramps, portable docks, dock ramps, and both mobile and stationary forklift ramps. How else to we do it? One way is that we consider our receivables and payables accounts as Sales-in-Process holding accounts only. We pay our vendors as we go, making us their favorite dealer. And we save our customers a lot of money in return for not having to engage in chasing down profit-depleting past-due invoices. We thank you for understanding and applaud you for putting your money into the tool you need rather than our competitors’ unfortunate bricks and mortar overhead.

Off-Loading Responsibility: Customers are responsible for off-loading upon arrival of the flatbed. Confirmation of Customer’s ability to off-load will be conducted several times prior to shipment to be certain order does not ship without off-loading plans in place. In the event Customer will not have the necessary equipment or personnel for conducting a safe off-load, The Yard Ramp Guy provides Turnkey Off-Loading services. Turnkey services must be ordered and prepaid with order placement.
Communication: By way of The Yard Ramp Guy’s freight broker, other assigned vendor and/or the driver of the flatbed, Customer will be called and updated of the expected delivery time when flatbed carrier is within 30-90 minutes from your delivery location.

Any representative of The Yard Ramp Guy or its preferred vendors will keep you informed on progress and/or changes to your delivery as such notifications warrant.
Ship To Address: Please note that we use contracted third party flatbed carriers to ship your portable dock ramp. Please provide the street address for where the ramp will be off-loading for use. Please make sure that the shipping address that you provide is correct. On-Line ordering does not permit address changes after payment. In the event you need to change or correct a delivery address, please call The Yard Ramp Guy immediately. Freight charges may change as a result of the change of delivery address.
Customer Pickup: Customer may provide The Yard Ramp Guy with their own preferred vendor or in-house resources for picking up an order. Regardless of who loads, transports and/or off-loads an order, The Yard Ramp Guy must coordinate directly with such vendors. Orders may incur a pickup fee. Please call BEFORE finalizing your purchase on-line.
Time: Order Processing Time + Production Time (if not in stock) + Time in Transit = Total Delivery Time. All references to time are based upon Monday through Friday work days, excluding national holidays or factory down-time.

For orders requiring site photos, measurements or approval signatures, all of these necessary pre-shipment requirements must be received by The Yard Ramp Guy and are a part of Order Processing Time.

- Expedited Delivery: We will always attempt to deliver in the shortest and most efficient manner. Due to the nature of our shipments, “expedited delivery” is not a real term.
