Designed to enable rapid fork-lift loading and unloading of trailer-mounted shipping containers, a long mobile ramp is produced by Star Wrought Products that is known as the Speedload. The standard model has a length of 36ft, and its width inside is 5ft 3in., its load capacity being 5 tons. Because of its lightweight aluminium construction and accurate balance about the axle, the ramp can readily be handled by two men. A manually operated hydraulic jacking system allows speedy elevation over a height range of 37in. to 63in.
Flooring is of the steel open-grid type to provide for all-weather use. Grabhook chains are fitted to secure the ramp to the vehicle under-ride bar or container corner casting.
Other models are available with a 3-ton and 8-ton capacity in lengths of 30ft and 36ft: Made by: Star Wrought Products Ltd, Elemos Division, 12
