Leading
loading & unloading equipment manufacturer, Thorworld Industries
Ltd, has introduced a new low cost Economy model (Type 7) mobile
yardramp, as well as announcing a significant reduction in the cost of
its ramp maintenance service.
The new value-for-money Economy
ramp provides a slightly shorter and lighter weight, affordable
alternative to their existing Deluxe models (Types 5/6).
Available
in 7,000 and 10,000kg capacities, the Economy ramp has been
purpose-designed by Thorworld for fast, efficient and cost-effective
loading and unloading of trailers and containers by fork truck where
there is no loading dock.
With an overall length of 11.5m and a
useable width of 2.24/2.25m, they are solidly built, with a steel
superstructure, using the latest solid beam technique. A serrated open
grid deck provides positive traction in all weather conditions and a
hand operated hydraulic pump raises them to the required height.
Featuring
side safety curbs, they come with a unique built-in tow bar, allowing
them to be quickly and easily moved around by fork truck. Designed and
fully tested to meet the latest European quality & safety standards
and directives, they all carry the CE mark.
To help keep their
mobile yard ramps in tip top condition and comply with appropriate
testing legislation, Thorworld provides comprehensive service and
maintenance back-up.
And with increased efficiencies through
pre-planned journey cycles and improved manpower utilisation,
significant cost savings have now been achieved for their ramp
maintenance service.
Thorworld
provides a one-stop, single source for a wide range of high quality
loading & unloading equipment and loading bay accessories &
safety aids, such as: dock shelters & seals, dock levellers, dock
plates & boards, dock & vehicle bumpers, wheel chocks and

for purchase or rental on a sale or return basis, through its
