OPERATION
The operator raises and lowers the ramp with constant control of the push buttons. The lip can be extended and retracted at any time for quick cycle and infinite end load access.
The standard lip extension projects 15″ beyond a 4″ bumper. For additional safety the ramp is stored over-center in its vertical position. Deck maintenance support with lock-out provided for improved safety and convenience.
CONSTRUCTION
The platform is a unitized welded structure with continuous welds at the beam, header plate and lugs for maximum strength. Beams are welded to the deck plate on both sides in a superior 33% weld pattern along their full length.
The deck plate, lip plate, beam sections and lugs are constructed of minimum 55,000 PSI yield material. The continuous rear hinge with stainless steel rod provides 4″ side-to-side tilt with no pinch point and comes factory coated with anti-seize lubricant. High visibility 4″ high side run-off guards are welded to each side of the ramp assembly.
