Terex chooses heavyweight Thorworld Yard Ramp

A mobile yard ramp from Thorworld Industries is providing the ideal loading and unloading solution for use with heavy construction equipment at the Terex facility in Warwick.

It’s used for offloading new machines arriving from the company’s Coventry plant and other European sites where these are not delivered on low loaders, but transported in containers or on standard 40ft long trailers.  The machines are then stored on site prior to delivery to UK dealers and customers, when they are loaded onto trailers or into containers using the yard ramp.

Thorworld built the special 15,000kg single axle capacity ramp, with a useable width of 2650mm instead of the standard 2250mm width, so that it could be used with the widest machines handled at the site.  It replaced an elderly yard ramp, from another supplier, that an inspection revealed did not meet current Health and Safety requirements.

Thorworld provides a one-stop, single source for a wide range of high quality loading & unloading equipment and loading bay accessories & safety aids, such as: dock shelters & seals, dock levellers, dock plates & boards, dock & vehicle bumpers, wheel chocks, modular loading docks and mobile yard ramps, as well as the Truckloada mobile yardlift and the Dockloada scissor lift platform.
