Beacon Towable Yard Ramp

The Beacon World Class Towable Yard Ramp is designed for portability on the road to get to a location when no loading dock is available. Increasing work efficiency and allowing for loading and unloading tractor trailers and rail cars at remote locations. Unlike most yard ramps that are designed to be slowly moved and positioned in the yard usually at a 5 mph tow limit, this unit is designed to be towed down the road at a max speed of 45 mph to its loading and staging area. Specifically engineered as a Towable Yard Ramp, for use with forklifts.
