Additional requests from our client – manufacture and supply of Forklift truck access ramps:
For this specific project, beyond the additional 40’ high cube shipping containers we supplied and delivered, our client also requested the supply of 2 x forklift truck ramps for loading and unloading the containers with their onsite forklifts. The containers were mainly going to be storing large pallets housing electrical wholesale goods, so direct access into the containers from the ground level was of paramount importance.
We worked closely with our steel fabricator to design and manufacture 2 x ramps that were built specifically for our customer’s needs, manufactured using heavy-duty, thick galvanised steel sheets.
Both ramps were a matching pair, with forklift pockets installed for ease of movement around the site with the forklifts.
Steel chequer plate anti-slip flooring type was used.
Strong, lightweight and durable design ensuring long term use for many years.
Delivery
We delivered all 13 x 40’ high cube shipping containers in the space of a few days with our trusted, dedicated HIAB hauliers. The forklift truck ramps were also delivered to site during the same week. Articulated HIAB lorries were used due to the size of container type.
