Humbly, we’re reposting an entry this week from our man McCoy Fields.
Jeff Mann
Founder and President
My friend Jeff Mann, the true Yard Ramp Guy, is honest as the day is long. He’s also humble, which means ⏤ beyond the necessary marketing campaigns to keep competitive in the industry ⏤ he might not readily draw attention to himself or his business.
I, McCoy Fields, am not so humble. That’s why I’m proud to share with you just a bit of what Jeff and his team are doing in response to the coronavirus pandemic that has so quickly altered our landscapes and disrupted our world.
There’s a difference between what we can see and what we can’t. COVID-19 is invisible to the naked eye, an insidious, lethal virus that does not discriminate, that transmits from person to person through proximity, breath, and touch. It’s a frightening thing with all-too-often devastating results. A yard ramp is a tangible three tons of steel: an incline with purpose and utility.
The clamping off of much of the country to limit transmission of coronavirus is having devastating effects. The alternative is worse. Essential businesses continue to operate. That’s why the supply chain keeps our grocery stores stocked. And that’s why The Yard Ramp Guy continues to sell and rent its inventory.
Yard ramps classify as essential tools to emergency service and product providers combatting the pandemic. The Yard Ramp Guy has placed ramps at Coronavirus Emergency Distribution staging sites and rented a ramp to a hospital in New York City ⏤ sadly, to provide access to refrigeration trucks serving as temporary morgues. I’ve known more life-affirming examples. Yet this is important and, yes, essential.
The Yard Ramp Guy is listed in ThomasNet’s COVID-19 Response Suppliers.
In good times and bad, Jeff’s yard ramps are workhorses, functioning without complaint to help movement between points.
I’ve never been prouder of my friend Jeff and his team.
Stay safe and be well.
