• Van loading ramps are used across a range of different industries, including on electric vans, below following list includes a few examples.
• Healthcare sector - Safely load healthcare equipment including hospital beds, mobility scooters and more in and out of vans.
• Mobile engineers - Load parts and equipment in and out of vehicles.
• Facility and professional services - Load cleaning machines and equipment.
• Couriers - Load heavier items such as sofas, washing machines and other domestic appliances.
• Events industry - Safely load flightcases filled with speakers, instruments and more - especially beneficial to prevent damage to expensive equipment.
• Landscape gardeners - Transporting ride-on mowers, lawnmowers and pressure washers.

• EU guidelines recommend a maximum gradient of 30% or 1:3.3. To identify the minimum ramp length you need measure the vertical height from the ground to where the ramp will rest, this is your load height. Multiply the height by 3.33 to identify the minimum ramp length needed.
• For ease, all of our van ramps state the minimum and maximum height the ramp can be used at.
• Please note, if you are loading an item with low ground clearance, such as pallet trucks, scissor lifts, forklifts and similar, a smoother gradient will be required. We can custom cut the ramp to provide a smoother gradient, please contact our team for a quote.

• Our van ramps are designed to be compatible with all vehicle types.
• As standard our ramps have a rest on connection which is designed to be used on flat-bed vehicles like transit vans, Mercedes-Benz Sprinters, Ford Transit Vans, flat-bed trailers and more. The premium van ramps can be provided with alternative connection options such as a hook or bottom-hook connection to allow you to securely connect the ramp to a beaver tail trailer.

• Your need to consider what you are loading and how often you will be using the ramp.
• For occasional use or use on multiple vehicles, portable ramps are a popular solution and often much cheaper than fixed van ramps. Available in folding and non-folding solutions, they are often perfect for moving furniture, motorbikes and loading events equipment. It is of course important to consider your abilities and, for workplaces, manual handling regulations, to ensure the portable ramp is not too heavy to lift, especially when being lifted by just one person.
• Fixed, or mounted vehicle ramps are generally secured to the van floor. They can feature a swivel feature to allow you to move them out of the way. They are generally best suited to those who need to use the ramp regularly and those seeking to load mobility scooters. They are quick and easy to deploy and, due to the gas struts, they are much lighter to operate. They are more expensive than portable ramps and are permanently located in the van.
