Ramp Repair and Fabrication

Loading ramps, equipment ramps and access ramps straightened, braced and rebuilt so loads move on and off safely.

Ramps carry concentrated loads over short spans, which makes them hard on welds. Bent rungs, cracked side rails, worn hinges and loose attachments are common failures, and a ramp that gives way under a mower or a machine is dangerous for both operator and equipment.

We straighten and repair damaged ramps, add cross members and bracing, replace worn surfaces with new diamond plate or grating and rebuild the hinge and latch hardware. We can also fabricate new ramps sized for your equipment and your trailer or truck height.

Where ramps fail

Loaded wheels pound the center of the span, and attachment points take the shock of loading. We reinforce both areas when repairing.

Traction and surface

A smooth ramp is a slippery one. Diamond plate and grip surfaces add traction, especially in wet weather.

Right size for the load

Ramp length, width and strength depend on the equipment weight and loading height. We size a new ramp to your actual use.

Safe loading habits

Ramps should rest fully on the trailer or truck and sit at a safe angle. Latches and straps hold them in place during loading. Good habits protect people and equipment as much as strong welds do.

Questions

Ramp Repair FAQ

Can a bent ramp be repaired?

Often. Moderate bends can be straightened and braced. A badly kinked ramp usually needs new sections.

Can you build a ramp for my mower or machine?

Yes. Tell us the equipment weight and loading height, and we design and build a ramp to suit.

Can you make ramps non-slip?

Yes. We use diamond plate or add grip surfaces to improve traction.

Do you repair wheelchair or access ramps?

We can repair metal ramps. Access ramps have code rules for slope and handrails, so check local requirements, and we can build to the details you provide.

What is a safe ramp angle?

Shallower is safer. We size ramp length to the loading height and equipment, and advise on angles that suit your machine.
