4 Point Load Analysis

The safety of the operator is a number one concern, so we prefer to over-build our products and not cut any corners on design. Our Portable Yard Ramp Engineers build in a safety factor of at least 2 to 1, giving you the assurance that our ramps are built tough and will stand up to the job. Our load capacity and safety factor calculations are based on a realistic “4 point wheel load pattern on the ramp”, not a “broad area of the ramp deck”. This also assures that your Adapt-A-Ramp is “Built to Last” and will give you years trouble free service.

Load Capacity

Our HD50 Series Heavy Duty Portable Loading Ramps have a load capacity of 50,000 pounds and are designed to a 2 to 1 load factor of safety. The 50,000 pound load rating is based on 4 point loads similar to a vehicles foot print as opposed to distributing the load over the full area of the ramp.

This realistic rating assures that any point on this yard ramp will support the full weight of 50,000 pounds.
