Mobile Dock Ramp — Mobile Loading Ramp / Mobile Yard Ramp
What is a mobile dock ramp?
A mobile dock ramp (also called a mobile loading ramp or mobile yard ramp) is a towable, height-adjustable steel ramp used to bridge the gap between ground level and a truck, trailer or container. Mobile yard ramps let forklifts and pallet trucks load and unload where fixed docks are impractical or too expensive to build. They are commonly used as portable loading ramps, container ramps, and temporary dock solutions across industry sites.
Usage scenarios — where mobile loading ramps excel
The mobility and adjustable height of a yard ramp make it a versatile tool for many industries. Typical use cases include:
- Logistics bases and distribution centers: temporary loading points and overflow docks where mobile yard ramp rental or purchase is common.
- Factories and workshops: direct factory-floor loading to trucks and containers — ideal for production lines that need flexible loading solutions.
- Warehouses and cold storage: adaptable dock heights to match varying truck and trailer bed heights.
- Ports and container yards / bonded areas: container stripping and stuffing where fixed infrastructure is limited.
- Retail and supermarkets: seasonal or temporary distribution events where portable loading ramp solutions reduce downtime.

Load ratings & height range — choose the right capacity
Our mobile dock ramps are available in common industrial capacity classes ranging from 6T to 20T. The adjustable working height range covers 110 cm to 175 cm, which fits most truck and container sill heights encountered in logistics and port operations.
Quick specification overview
| Model (example) | Rated Capacity | Adjustable Height | Deck Width | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YR-6 | 6 tonnes | 110–130 cm | 1500 mm | Light factories, small warehouses |
| YR-10 | 10 tonnes | 120–150 cm | 1800 mm | Medium warehouses, distribution |
| YR-15 | 15 tonnes | 125–165 cm | 2000 mm | Ports, bonded areas, heavy workshops |
| YR-20 | 20 tonnes | 140–175 cm | 2200 mm | Heavy-duty yard, container operations |
Tip: always select a ramp with a safety margin above your heaviest loaded forklift to protect the deck and hydraulic system under continuous use.
Built to last — sturdiness and durability
A durable mobile loading ramp combines truss or boxed-beam deck construction, quality steel grades, and a proven hydraulic lift system. Key durability features include:
- Heavy-duty welded truss deck to reduce flexing under load.
- Hydraulic height adjustment for fast, low-effort setup and safe operation.
- Non-slip deck surface and reinforced tail plates for secure traction.
- Solid or heavy-duty pneumatic tires for easy movement around the yard.
These design choices ensure the ramp remains even in harsh outdoor or port environments.
Factory direct — lower price, faster service
Buying factory-direct means fewer middlemen, lower prices, and faster customization. Our factory offers direct sales and technical support with short lead times and ready spare parts. With 20+ years of experience in manufacturing lifting and loading equipment, we provide practical after-sales service and quick response to field requests.
Safety, maintenance, and operating best practices
- Inspect the deck, hydraulic hoses, and tires before each shift.
- Ensure the tail plate is properly seated against the truck sill and the ramp is chocked or locked.
- Use wheel chocks and restraining devices as required by site safety rules.
- Schedule periodic maintenance for hydraulics, grease points, and weld inspections.
