Selection assistance loading ramps

Ramps are indispensable when driving your car, motorbike or other heavy machine onto an elevation. However, if you need to move your wheelchair or mobility scooter over a raised threshold, Kruizinga.com is also the right place to go to. We have a wide range of highly robust ramps.

In most cases, we recommend a maximum gradient of 30% for standard ramps. You can calculate the required length of the ramps using the following formula: Ramp height (cm) divided by the maximum gradient angle (30) x 100 = length of the ramp. See also the table below for an overview;

If a vehicle has to be loaded on a trailer with a ramp height (floor height) of 45 cm and a gradient of 30%, calculate the length of the ramp as follows;

45 ÷ 30 x 100 = 150 cm

If you require a lower gradient, change the figure 30 that appears in the calculation above, to your preferred percentage.

Total weight of the vehicle + fuel (1L = 1KG) + weight of the driver + weight of the accessories

We recommend that you add on at least 10% extra load capacity.

As stated for the products, the load capacity depends on several factors and decreases if:

• the weight distribution is different than 2/3 on one axle and 1/3 on the other axle

• the speed is above 5 km/h

• there are vibrations when accelerating or braking abruptly

• the ramps must be stored completely flat on the bottom of the trailer or loading area and secured in such a way that they can't move about.

• always reverse onto a ramp if a vehicle has most of its weight on the rear axle. This prevents the vehicle from tipping backwards

Our threshold ramps can be used for a wide range of applications and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The threshold aids are suitable for use in logistics, in the office, in healthcare or general use. Our range includes;

• compact folding threshold ramps

• fixed threshold ramps

• cable ramps

• kerb ramps

• solid rubber ramps

We are also able to supply you with safe and solid ramps for heavy vehicles. In order to load and/or unload a heavy vehicle, you will require the correct specifications. For example, the axle spacing, wheel spacing, tracks or normal tyres, with overhang, type of suspension, etc.

We supply standard ramps and threshold ramps directly from stock. However, we are also able to provide you with a tailor-made solution; our specialists will be happy to help. This could be, for example, a wheelchair ramp or a ramp or a ramp with a specific size.

In addition to ramps we also supply; straps, corner protectors, protective blankets, non-slip mats, trailer nets, covers, locks and aluminium boxes for storing and securing of your materials. These accessories help to increase your load capacity, facilitate handling and protect valuable cargo, goods and products. Our load securing products are mainly used in the transport and logistics sectors, but also in the construction, industry, hospitality and agricultural sector.
