Store ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE DESIGN BENEFITS ////////// Adapt-A-Ramp’s exclusive design features enhance operational safety setting a higher standard. The Hinged Tail Plate is 60 inches long and is located  on the lower end of the ramp. This feature helps to  improve ramp stability by helping to compensate for  uneven yard surfaces thus creating a smooth transition  on and off the ramp. Stability is further improved  because the entire 60 inches of the Hinged Tail Plate  remains flat on the ground regardless of the ramps  height adjustment. This offers the benefit of a safer  transition on & off the ramp. The Hinged Lip   Plate automatically compensates for the changing elevation  of the truck trailer caused   by the lift truck driving in  &  out  and  the  payload  weight change due  to  the   loading   or  unloading  process. This   heavy   duty    Hinged   Lip   Plate  is   attached   by  a  full length seamless    hinge fully    supported  and  has a  chamfered leading   edge   for   a  smooth  and safe  transition on and off the  trailer or dock. 10 Foot Level-Off Section: Hinged Lip Plate: The upper  10  Foot Level-Off   section allows the lift truck    operator   to   exit   the   trailer     in  the  fully horizontal position prior to  backing  down the ramp.   This   feature  helps    maximize   load    stability  and operator  safety. The 10 feet  allows  the lift truck and  a   pallet   sized   load  to  be clear of  the  trailer   and  prevents the load from  scraping the top of the trailer prior to descent.
