Ramp Length & Load Height
This guide should help you gauge how long a ramp you require, so if you're in any doubt read the details below. If you still have questions after reading, feel free to give us a call. The crucial thing to know is your load height.
Load Height: this is the vertical measurement from the ground to where you rest the ramp onto.
Guide to the maximum load height is shown in the product description/table, please note the minimum Load Height will be 5% below the maximum height stated on the ramp, to calculate use (maximum load height - 5% = minimum load height).
For vehicle ramps EU guidelines recommend that no ramps with a gradient greater than 30% or 1:3.3 should be used. Essentially the load height x 3.3, gives you your ramp length. Furthermore no TUV Certified Ramp is designed to exceed this gradient. Going over this gradient is can cause accident, injury or death and may invalidate the warranty.
For loading vehicles with Low ground clearance and Front and/or Rear overhang a gentler gradient is recommended (this will vary depending upon the vehicle)
Capacity & Wheelbase Info
What is the wheelbase? - Wheelbase is the distance between the front and the back wheels.
Our loading ramps are usually safety tested and certified for three different length wheelbases. This is because the length of the wheelbase effects the spread of the weight applied to the ramps. The smaller the wheel base the more focused the load & therefore the less capacity the ramps can take.
The same applies with the width of the tyre or track which is why we list a ‘minimum track width’ within each product specification. We recommend reading the safety information supplied with the ramps before use to be sure the set supplied are suitable for your application.
Usage Guidelines and Safety Information for these ramps can be found here.
Walkways and Gangways
What are pedestrian walkway and vehicle gangways?
In contrast to ramps, walkways or gangways are designed to be used between 0% and 5% gradients. Industrial or commercial environments can benefit from pedestrian walkways or vehicle gangways that can either be purchased off the shelf or custom-built.
Why should I consider a pedestrian walkway?
Pedestrian walkways in industrial environments provide safe and designated paths for workers to navigate through potentially hazardous areas, such as factories or warehouses. These walkways help to prevent accidents and injuries by keeping pedestrians separate from vehicular traffic and providing clear guidance for movement throughout the facility.
What are the benefits of vehicle gangways?
Vehicle gangways provide the advantage of being specifically tailored to the needs of the industrial environment. Custom-built gangways can be designed to accommodate the specific dimensions, load requirements, and mobility needs of the facility, ensuring optimal safety and efficiency. Additionally, these gangways can be equipped with features such as handrails, further enhancing the protection and well-being of workers in industrial settings.
What options are available for pedestrian walkways?
The Ramp People's range of aluminium pedestrian walkways are, as the name suggests, designed for pedestrians to use as a bridge to cross excavations and trenches. The trench bridges have a maximum loading capacity of 400kgs/m2 and range from 1260mm - 6055mm long. The handrails on the sides of the walkways are 1018mm high when deployed, and fold in on themselves for ease of transportation. They can also be removed completely.
Please note that the walkway bridge should never be used at more than a maximum gradient of 5%. For steeper slopes, see the aluminium pedestrian bridge ramps.
Aluminium pedestrian bridge ramps can overcome height differences caused by construction or public works. They have a maximum loading capacity of 400kgs/m2 and range from 990mm - 5790mm long. The handrails on the sides of the walkways are 1018mm high when deployed, and fold in on themselves for ease of transportation. They can also be removed completely. The raised edges are 200mm high.
Please note that the ramp should never be used at more than 8% gradient. They are available in heights ranging from 80mm - 460mm.
What options are available for vehicle gangways?
The Ramp People's vehicle ramps are fabricated from precision engineered aluminium and have a capacity of up to 4500kgs, depending on the ramp length. Vehicle trench bridges are available in lengths from 990mm – 5790mm and widths of 1000mm and 1250mm. The handrails on the sides of the bridge / walkways are 1018mm high when deployed, and fold in on themselves for ease of transportation. They can also be removed completely. The raised edges are 200mm high.
Please be aware that these trench bridges are designed for a minimum rubber footprint of 200mm x 200mm. The maximum load distribution on vehicle axles should be between 40% and 60%.
