Loading Ramps

Chequer-plate, built in pairs

Steel loading ramps fabricated in matched pairs with chequer-plate tread, built to the length, width and lip arrangement your trailer or loading bed needs — and finished in high-visibility paint so they are seen in a busy yard.

Technical

Specification

The detail below is the framework the workshop builds from. Final figures are confirmed in writing with your quotation.

Before steel is cut

Dimensions, machine fitment, ratings and finish are all confirmed with you in writing before fabrication begins. Nothing is assumed from a catalogue figure.

Matched pairs (singles on request)
Tread
Chequer-plate or welded grip bar
Length
Built to the loading height you work to
Width
Built to the machine track or wheel width
Lip
Hook-over, flat or pinned lip arrangement
Side rails
Optional raised side rails
Rating
Specified against the heaviest machine loaded, confirmed on quotation
Finish
High-visibility yellow as standard, or your colour

Lengths, widths and ratings are configuration guidance. The safe working load for your ramps is confirmed in writing against the machine you load before manufacture.

Range

Build variants

Each variant is fabricated to order. Start from the closest one and change what you need in the configurator.

Hook-over lip

Hooks over the trailer bed and stays put as the machine drives on.

Pinned lip

Pinned to the trailer where ramps must not shift under a tracked machine.

Grip-bar tread

Welded bar tread for tracked machines and muddy sites where chequer plate fills.

Wide-track pair

Extra-wide ramps where the machine track is unusually wide or the driver wants margin.

Configurable

Plant movement

Mini diggers and dumpers driven onto flat trailer beds.

Container loading

Bridging ramps for loading bays and container floors.

Before you order

Questions the team gets asked

If yours isn't here, message the workshop — you'll get a straight answer rather than a brochure.

What length do I need?
The longer the ramp, the shallower the angle and the safer the load. Measure the height of your trailer bed and the team works the length back from that.
Chequer plate or grip bar?
Chequer plate is the everyday choice on wheeled machines. Grip bar sheds mud and suits tracked machines and wet sites.
Can I get a single ramp?
Yes — ramps are usually supplied in matched pairs, but singles are built where you are replacing one.
Do you deliver?
Delivery across Northern Ireland, the Republic and mainland UK is arranged on request, or you are welcome to collect from the Banbridge workshop.
