Container Ramp – Forklift & Trolley Loading Ramp

About this unit

The Container Ramp Forklift and Trolley Loading Ramp is part of our container accessories range, held for sale and hire from our Queensland depot, delivered Australia-wide. Every unit is inspected before it leaves the yard: doors swung, seals checked, floor sounded and the frame photographed as found. Delivery is quoted against your postcode and site access, and we tell you before you commit whether the truck can set the unit down where you want it. Modification is available on this unit — doors, windows, partitions, insulation, power and fit-out — quoted separately and built in our own workshop.

Hire is available for short and long terms, with the same inspection standard applied to hired units as to sold ones.

Container Ramp Forklift and Trolley Loading Ramp is a container fitting designed to work with the corrugation and internal height of a shipping container, held in the container accessories range and released from our Queensland yard for delivery to every state and territory in Australia.

Every listing on this page describes the actual unit. Condition is inspected and photographed before dispatch, the price shown is the Container Ramp Forklift and Trolley Loading Ramp only with delivery quoted separately against your postcode, and nothing on the page is a stock claim we cannot stand behind.

Buying a Container Ramp Forklift and Trolley Loading Ramp

The Container Ramp Forklift and Trolley Loading Ramp is sold as an individual unit, inspected before dispatch and priced as listed. If you are weighing up a Container Ramp Forklift and Trolley Loading Ramp against a newer or larger equivalent, the condition report and the access to your site matter more than the model year.

Fitting it to the container

Container fittings are designed around the corrugation and the internal height, so buy accessories that are
made for a container rather than adapted from a shed. Anything with a load rating should be fixed down so it
cannot walk when the container is lifted or towed. If you are fitting out a container that has already been
modified, check clearances against the lining before you order racking.

The things people forget

Two items get bought after the first wet season rather than before it: ventilation and desiccant. A steel box
sweats when the temperature drops, condensation forms under the roof and drips onto whatever is stored below.
Tools, electronics, paper and textiles all suffer. Deal with moisture before the container is filled and you will
never think about it again.

What we check, and why it matters

The failures that cost money later are rarely visible in a photo. Door seals that have gone hard let water in
along the floor. A floor that sounds hollow has lost its ply or its timber. Corner castings that have been
impacted affect lifting and securing. Every unit is checked against those points before dispatch, and the findings
are photographed so there is a record you can compare against on arrival.

Before you commit

Two things decide whether a unit works on your site: access and ground. Measure the gate, walk the route the
truck will take, and check what is overhead. The ground needs to be firm and level — anything sitting on soft
ground will settle and twist, and doors stop lining up when it does. Send a photo of the gate and the drop area and
we will tell you honestly whether the delivery will work before anything is booked.

Delivery and what it costs

The price shown is the Container Ramp Forklift and Trolley Loading Ramp only. Delivery is quoted separately against your postcode and site access, and it
is the honest way to do it — a drop fifteen kilometres from the yard and a drop twelve hundred kilometres
away are not the same job. Units are released from our Queensland yard and delivered to every state and territory
in Australia. Queensland drops generally run on our own trucks; interstate moves on scheduled freight, with the
booked window and carrier details confirmed in writing before dispatch.

Tell us about tight gates, low branches and overhead lines when you ask for a price. If a tilt-tray cannot
reach the drop point, a crane or side-loader will, and knowing that up front is the difference between an accurate
quote and a second invoice.

Changes, fit-out and modification

Anything that needs cutting, welding, wiring or lining is done in our own workshop rather than subcontracted,
which is why we can tell you what a change will actually cost before you commit. Doors, windows, partitions,
insulation, power, plumbing and full fit-outs are all container modification work we
quote on the details of your job rather than off a price list.

Hire instead of buying

If the need is for the life of a project rather than forever, hiring is usually cheaper
and you do not carry the asset, the transport or the maintenance. Buy when the Container Ramp Forklift and Trolley Loading Ramp is permanent, when you need a
specific configuration, or when the hire term would run past the purchase price. Short and long terms are both
available, and we will quote it against the same unit you are looking at here.
