Slide-In Ramp Capacity Ratings
Please note that there are variables that may affect slide-in ramp load capacity such as length
of equipment loaded; speed of loading equipment; track vs. wheeled equipment; speed of the
equipment transferred via the slide-in ramp, etc. Also, note that if the operator of the slide-in
ramps approaches maximum load capacity certain preventative measures should be taken.
These measures include but are not limited to “blocking” in
order to help support the center of the slide-in ramps. For questions or concerns, please contact
customer service.
