Vehicle loading ramps are one of the indispensable equipment of the transportation sector. It is an indispensable system used by all transportation companies in order to make fast loading and unloading. They close the gap between the transport truck and the floor and compensate for the difference in height.
Vehicle loading ramps hinged or hydraulically. In addition, these systems compensate for the difference in level between the different truck floors and the ramps in a single horizontal movement. Loading rampsSince they have a very strong and inelastic steel construction, they can smoothly balance the side slopes of the vehicle even when the vehicle is unbalanced.
Lifting, lowering and stabilizing the ramp in hydraulic vehicle loading ramps are provided by rollers. The cylinders in the hydraulic systems of the hydraulic vehicle loading ramps, which are easy to operate and offer very reliable operation, also have emergency stop valves. Otherwise, these valves are activated quickly and secure loading and unloading. For example, if there is a load on the ramp, it is an important safety feature if the vehicle moves.
Hinged type loading ramps are preferred especially for paper processing companies or for heavy loads. For light commercial vehicles, the hydraulic vehicle loading ramps offer a wide range of cushions. Ramp sizes are produced in different models according to the brand and model of the vehicle to be used.
As it is used for lowering and loading heavy loads, life safety and risk to property security of the enterprise. Therefore, regular maintenance should not be neglected.
In addition, the Occupational Health and Safety Law and the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment have made the necessary arrangements in this regard. Essentially, the health and safety requirements to be complied with in the use of all the work tools and equipment used in the workplaces are included in these legal regulations.
It is a must to comply with these legal regulations issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in order to eliminate the potential risks. Vehicle loading ramps, annex to Annex 3 on Maintenance, Repair and Periodic Controls of the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment, Lifting and forwarding tools group. From this point of view of the vehicle loading ramps, at least once a year periodic check-up and examinations are mandatory.
In order for the controls and the edited reports to be valid, this study must be carried out by authorized engineers such as mechanical engineers, machine technicians or high technicians.
TÜRCERT certification body is also testing and inspection services also gives. TÜRCERT is ready to provide all necessary services to organizations in every sector with its experienced managers and employees if it is necessary to get more information about the vehicle loading ramp periodic inspection examination or to make these examinations and controls.
