Four Piece Hinged Lip Plate

The lip plate is attached with a full width seamless hinge and over laps onto the bed of the trailer allowing for a safe transition from the ramp to the truck. Ramps with a width of 102” or wider come equipped with Adapt-A-Ramps four piece hinged lip plate. This design will enable you the flexibility of accessing flatbed and dry van trailers along with containers.

Load Capacity

Our SHD series loading ramps have a load capacity of 70,000+ pounds and are designed to a 2 to 1 load factor of safety. Similar to all Adapt-A-Ramps, the load rating is based on 4 point loads similar to a vehicles foot print as opposed to distributing the load over the full area of the ramp.

This realistic rating assures that any point on this ramp will support the full load capacity.

4 Point Load Analysis

The safety of the operator is a number one concern, so we prefer to over-build our products and not cut any corners on design. Our Portable Yard Ramp Engineers build in a safety factor of at least 2 to 1, giving you the assurance that our ramps are built tough and will stand up to the job. Our load capacity and safety factor calculations are based on a realistic “4 point wheel load pattern on the ramp”, not a “broad area of the ramp deck”. This also assures that your Adapt-A-Ramp is “Built to Last” and will give you years trouble free service.

The SHD70 series mobile yard ramps features a 10 foot long upper level-off section.

This provides a safe and stable exit from the trailer prior to descending to ground level.

All Adapt-A-Ramp portable loading ramps are equipped with heavy duty side guard rails to help avoid driving off the side of the ramp. The SHD70 Series Portable Loading Ramps come equipped with 8” to 18+” high guard rails. The height of the guard rails depends on the type of equipment being loaded. Other height ranges available.
