Loading and ramp systems

Reinforced solutions for efficient loading

Loading and ramp systems play a central role in modern logistics and transportation. They enable goods to be loaded e=iciently and safely, especially with large and heavy loads. Reinforced ramps and tailgates not only offer stability and load-bearing capacity, but also flexibility for a wide range of applications.

What are loading and ramp systems

Loading and ramp systems include specially developed ramps and tailgates that facilitate the loading and unloading of vehicles, trailers or containers. They are made of robust materials and designed to withstand high loads.

Typical components of a loading and ramp system are

  1. Reinforced ramps
  2. Stable constructions that can also carry heavy vehicles or loads.

  3. Loading flaps
  4. Movable parts that enable height differences between the loading ramp and the vehicle to be bridged.

  5. Hydraulic systems
  6. Support the raising and lowering of ramps and tail lifts.

These systems are designed to minimize loading time and optimize material flow.

Materials for loading and ramp systems

The materials used for loading and ramp systems are crucial for their durability and resilience. These include:

  • Steel
  • High-strength alloys for maximum load-bearing capacity.

  • Aluminum
  • Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for mobile ramps.

  • Composite materials
  • Combinations of metal and plastic for additional impact resistance.

  • Non-slip surfaces
  • Special coatings or profiling to increase safety during loading.

The choice of material depends on the planned load and the operating environment.

Advantages of loading and ramp systems

Loading and ramp systems offer numerous advantages that make them indispensable in the industry:

  • Security
  • Reinforced constructions and non-slip surfaces minimize the risk of accidents.

  • Efficient
  • Fast loading and unloading saves time and reduces operating costs.

  • Flexibility
  • Adjustable ramps and tailgates can be adapted to different vehicles and heights.

  • Durable surfaces
  • High-quality materials and precise workmanship ensure a long service life.
