Hinged Board & Ramp Combination

A good solution for pallet trucks and the low dock situation when the unit does not need to be moved out of the way. Used when the board length needed for a given application is longer than a one piece unit. The fixed ramp is made to get up to 48"-50" above the ground. A light weight hinged aluminum board then goes up or down from this 48"-50" height. Board hinges back vertically out of the way so overhead doors can be closed without moving the unit. No more handling board and ramp combinations by hand.
