The 16,000 lb Yard Ramp is a portable forklift loading ramp built to help warehouses, contractors, freight companies, storage yards, farms, and industrial facilities load and unload trailers, containers, and docks safely and efficiently. This ramp is ideal for temporary loading areas, seasonal freight increases, jobsite material handling, warehouse overflow, and locations without a permanent loading dock.

A yard ramp allows a forklift to travel from ground level up to a trailer, container, dock, or elevated loading area. HandiRamp notes that yard ramps are commonly built with adjustable height undercarriages so they can match different trailer and dock heights, with many ramps operating in the 40" to 60" height range.

This 16,000 lb capacity ramp is best suited for forklift loading where the total load stays within the rated ramp capacity. HandiRamp’s capacity guide states that a 16,000 lb yard ramp corresponds to forklifts up to approximately 5,333 lb capacity, based on their listed yard-ramp capacity categories.
