Project Overview

This logistics warehouse in Guleph was challenged to accommodate the variety of vehicles that would arrive for product pick-ups or delivery. They needed two of their position converted to handle trucks other than just semi-trailer trucks. 

Northern Dock Systems developed the solution for a custom ramp and platform. These custom ramps and platforms were designed to accommodate a fleet of light-duty inbound vehicles with a capacity of 30,000 lbs. The goal of the ramp was to match the truck bed and dock height. As a result, it is now easier to load and unload these light-duty vehicles.

In addition, this custom ramp and platform has an adjustable height of 20”-30” off the grade. So, this gives this logistics warehouse the flexibility to adjust the ramp now and in the future as the fleet changes.

This custom ramp and platform features: 

• Ramp length 20’ 
• Platform length 25’
• Total width 120”
• Capacity 30,000 lbs
• 42” safety handrails
• 12” safety rub rails
• Ramp height adjustable 20”-30” off grade
