Lots A Ramps metal grating, one of the many great features of the high-quality dock equipment we produce. We employ this with our yard ramps, portable platforms, and other gear. Our metal grating allows rain and snow, along with any other debris or material, to fall through, versus accumulate. This grating improves safety and reduces the risk of accidents during bad conditions and any inclement weather. During icy or snowy weather yes the surface will begin to get slicker than if it were dry. However, as opposed to a flat, solid surface, there is never any need to break up ice, shovel away snow, put down salt or sand, or anything else.

Hydraulic Fluid Versus Mother Nature

Another benefit of our dock equipment to help make your business more productive in all weather conditions is the hydraulic fluid we employ in our products.

Maintenance is minimal for our loading dock equipment. However, we all prepare one or another for Winter so don’t forget your dock equipment.  A few quick steps will go a long way to ensuring that everything remains in optimal condition and working order at all times.
