Dock and Cargo - Dock Ramps - Yard Ramps

Bluff Manufacturing, Steel Yard Ramp Bluff Manufacturing, Steel Yard Ramp
The Yardramp ( yard ramp ) is simply moved into position at trailers, railcars, or docks. The operator utilizes a self-contained, double-acting hydraulic pump to adjust the unit to the proper position. In minutes you are ready to load or unload freight. Solid 18" rubber tires provide easy positioning and towing. Open serrated steel grating provides excellent traction while preventing build-up of snow, water, and other debris. Beveled approach provides a smooth transition. For truck or railcar to ground applications choose a 36' unit including a level off. Choose a 30' straight design for quick loading from dock to ground.

Bluff Manufacturing, Portable Dock Bluff Manufacturing, Portable Dock
 
Place a Bluff Portable Dock in front of any dock or railcar door and you will be able to serve three loading/unloading positions at the same time. Portable Dock affords 90 degree turnability for safe forklift maneuvering. Portable Dock is a fast, economical way to expand your dock area and increase freight handling capabilities without the expense of site or concrete work. Portable Dock can easily be relocated to other areas of your yard where a free-standing loading dock may be needed. This means more trucks or railcars can be serviced while freeing up other critical dock doors. Optional adjustable, telescoping legs of 44" and 55" allow elevations to meet most dock height requirements. For remote areas, Portable Dock along with a Bluff Yard Ramp can serve as a satellite unloading area.

  • RAMPCLAMP for short towing positioning

  • YARD RAMP without undercarriage
  • CHAIN BRACKET available in pairs
