The Yard Ramp Guy Difference

We’ve listened closely to our buying and renting customers of quality yard ramps, used yard ramp sellers, vendors and even our friendly competitors. This is what we’ve learned:

  • We win on price versus other dealers and versus factory-direct.
  • We don’t just say we rent yard ramps; we really do.
  • We pay used yard ramp sellers more than the competition does.
  • We earn your trust, and then we earn your business.

How do we win on pricing?

How? Purchasing Power! The top two manufacturers of yard ramps rank The Yard Ramp Guy as their #1 dealer for the category. We pass our cost savings on to our customers.

How do we rent when others only say they rent?

The Yard Ramp Guy has mastered the business of yard ramp rentals. With yard ramps located throughout the United States, most of our inventory sits within 250 miles of 90% of the population. This results in considerably reduced delivery and return freight costs.

How (and WHY!) do we pay top dollar to sellers of used yard ramps?

We understand and accept what’s required to assure a win for the seller of used dock ramps, a win for the buyer and a win for The Yard Ramp Guy.

We would like to thank The Yard Ramp Guy for making 4 ramps for us and delivering to 4 different locations in 4 different states. The process was seamless from start to finish.

There was great communication along the way: we knew when our ramp would be produced, manufactured, and delivered. Trucks were scheduled and arrived within the window you gave us. The video you sent was very helpful for our managers to know what was coming, how it was loaded, and how to unload it.

The ramps are fantastic and work well. The manufacturing looks amazing. Thank you, Yard Ramp Guy, for a nice process and product.

Loading & Unloading Applications

Stationary or mobile, dock-to-ground, ground-to-truck: we carry a variety of yard ramps with features to cover every situation.

We serve an impressive variety of businesses that find optimal uses for our yard ramps, including:

  • Basic ground-to-dock stationary ramps
  • Mainstream ground-to-truck mobile yard ramps
  • Multi-bay portable docks
  • Ramp system stairs and hand rails

A number of factors go into deciding the specific type of yard ramp you need in order to streamline productivity. What are the average pallet shipment weights? What size forklifts or pallet jacks do you use for loading and unloading? Will you move the ramp to different loading dock positions around the warehouse during the course of its use, requiring easy yard ramp mobility?

Contact The Yard Ramp Guy Team.

We’ll discuss your specific requirements and your options, including: the advantages of new vs. used yard ramps for sale, the benefits of buying and renting a used portable loading dock, and how you can easily convert your portable loading ramp rental into a purchase.

Short and Long-Term Loading Dock Options for Warehouses and Other Industries

The goal and the results: improving and streamlining your workflow.

Our short-term yard ramp rentals provide delivery of your ramp anywhere you need it. When a large sporting event producer needs to load and offload a million pounds of staging equipment for a four-day event at an outdoor arena without loading docks, they call The Yard Ramp Guy.

For warehouses with temporary surges in shipment processing, we offer longer-term rental options to prevent standstills in productivity of loading and unloading of seasonal freight.

Whether you’re looking for permanent or temporary loading ramp solutions, our new and used yard ramps continue to help streamline our customers’ business operations.

We are very happy with our ramp. My employees are grateful they don’t have to unload their trucks in the cold, rain, snow, or heat anymore!

I am even more happy with the customer service. I received calls on a play-by-play basis, letting me know each step. Everyone was very nice and accommodating.

If anyone I know needs a ramp installed, I will definitely recommend The Yard Ramp Guy. Thank you to everyone involved in making this such a smooth process.
