Benefits of Yard Ramps with One-Cylinder Pump Design

One Cylinder Pump Yard Ramps at Lots A Ramps

How can one cylinder pump yard ramps benefit you? Still using traditional two cylinder yard ramps at your warehouse facility?  If so, you may be missing out on more efficient loading and unloading of materials.

We’re proud to announce we’ve updated the hydraulic pump design on Copperloy’s lineup of OHSA-compliant industrial yard ramps, and the results are in! These re-designed one cylinder yard ramps are the time savers you’ve been looking for.

How Our One Cylinder Pump Yard Ramps Save You Time

1. Faster Raise Times – Copperloy’s revamped, the one-cylinder design uses less pressure to lift the ramp when compared to traditional yard ramps with two-cylinder hydraulic systems. This allows for not only easier operation, but faster raise time as well—up to two-and-a-half times faster than the average industry ramp.

2. Reduced Wear – A traditional two-cylinder pump can rise unevenly due to a variety of conditions, including general wear. Copperloy’s one centrally located cylinder guarantees that the ramp will rise evenly every time.

3. Improved Safety – Our new design provides greater stability because the hydraulic system is disengaged while the ramp is in use. This allows the ramp to work in unison with raising and lowering of the truck.

4. Easy Pump Access – The pumps location on the outside of the ramp frame allows for easy access at all times.

5. Reduced Potential for Tire Issues – Solid-filled pneumatic tires can handle rugged terrain without the potential for punctures or air pressure problems.

6. Relocated Rotation Point – Rotation occurs on the redesigned positioning sleeve instead of the ramp connection, reducing wear on the ramp structure.

7. Improved Position Sleeve – Three points of connection greatly reduces the likelihood of disconnection during irregular maneuvers.
