Ramps used with Staging

[Dave m]

Back in the day I remember touring bands would carry the ramp under the truck and use it to unload to ground level. That was an accident waiting to happen but H&S wasn't a priority. Luckily I only did a few without a reasonably level dock access/leveler.

Truck ramps are bloody heavy. Our Ballet Ramps were in three sections from memory but a ba*stard to manoeuvre.

 

Still unsure of the purpose of the OP? if it is a museum exhibit that needs a ramp wouldn't hiring in a solution be cheaper?

Anything from a super lift to genie or forklift?

If "passenger" then DDA applies.

Don't suppose steel deck have a solution?

A company I used to know turned up at a venue only to find that their ramp had been stolen from under the truck, presumably when it was parked overnight at motorway services. 

This did not make for a fun load-in...
