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.

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.
