The loading ramp is a bridge equipment used between forklifts and trucks to facilitate loading and unloading of goods. Here are many classifications, generally divided into mobile loading ramp and stationary loading ramp. Here we’ll explore the differences between mobile and fixed dock levelers to help businesses choose the type of dock leveler that best suits their needs.

What’s the mobile loading ramp?

It is used in places where there is no loading and unloading platform on site or where mobile loading and unloading of goods is required. If there is no loading and unloading platform at the logistics site, as a remedial measure, the mobile boarding bridge is one of the very suitable solutions. The mobile boarding bridge is equivalent to a mobile steel structure ramp. The forklift can also drive directly into the truck compartment for batch processing. Loading and unloading operations. Only one person is required to operate, and no power source is needed to achieve safe and rapid loading and unloading of goods.

What’s the stationary loading ramp？

The stationary loading ramp is a special auxiliary equipment for rapid loading and unloading of goods. Its height adjustment function uses a bridge between the truck and the warehouse's cargo platform. Only one person is needed to move forklifts and other goods and load and unload goods in batches inside the truck. operation, you can achieve rapid loading and unloading of goods. It enables enterprises to reduce a lot of labor, improve work efficiency, and obtain greater economic benefits.

The application of the mobile loading ramp:

The mobile loading ramp widely used in cargo platforms and mobile loading and unloading places without loading and unloading equipment. It is an auxiliary cargo equipment used in conjunction with forklifts. With the help of this equipment, the forklift can drive directly into the car compartment for batch loading and unloading operations. Only one person is required to operate, and no power source is needed to achieve safe and rapid loading and unloading of goods. It can not only reduce your labor intensity, but also double the efficiency of loading and unloading operations, speed up the flow of materials, and obtain greater economic benefits.

The application of the stationary loading ramp:

The stationary loading ramp is a special auxiliary equipment for rapid loading and unloading of goods. Its height adjustment function allows a bridge to be built between the truck and the warehouse cargo platform. Through it, forklifts and other transportation vehicles can directly drive into the truck for batch loading and unloading of goods. Only one person is needed. operation, you can achieve rapid loading and unloading of goods. The boarding bridge allows enterprises to reduce a lot of labor, improve work efficiency, and obtain greater economic benefits. 

The Features of the loading ramp:

Full hydraulic drive, easy to operate and reliable.

The lip plate and the platform are connected along the entire long axis, which has high strength and good reliability.

Imported seals are used to ensure the hydraulic system has excellent sealing performance.

The imported integral modular hydraulic station has good sealing performance and long service life.

The high-strength "U"-shaped beam design can ensure its high load and long-term operation without deformation.

The anti-skid pattern steel plate is used to make the platform have good anti-skid performance.

The two sides are equipped with foot-rolling skirts to prevent toes from extending into the platform and causing accidental injuries.

There are support rods to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel when entering the interior of the boarding bridge for maintenance.

Choosing the Right Ramp

When selecting between mobile and stationary loading ramps, businesses need to consider several factors:

Operating Environment: If loading and unloading locations frequently change or are spread across multiple sites, mobile loading ramps might be more suitable. For fixed loading locations, stationary loading ramps are more efficient.

Type of Goods: For handling heavy or bulk goods, the stability and durability of stationary loading ramps are advantageous. For lighter and medium-weight goods, the versatility and flexibility of mobile loading ramps are more important.

Budget: While stationary loading ramps have higher initial installation costs, their long-term maintenance costs are lower. Conversely, mobile loading ramps have lower initial costs but higher maintenance and upkeep requirements. Businesses need to balance these costs against their financial situation.

Mobile and stationary loading ramps each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them depends on the specific needs and operating environment of the business. For operations requiring flexibility and versatility, mobile loading ramps are the best choice. For fixed operations requiring stability and efficiency, stationary loading ramps are more suitable. By carefully evaluating these factors, businesses can choose the loading ramp type that best meets their logistics and transportation needs, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
