The 12ft length makes the climb smoother for low-clearance machines and heavy equipment.
12ft Full-Width Loading Ramps
Stronger, Wider, Easier—Ramps That Make Every Load Effortless.
Loading equipment should not feel like a balancing act. Southland 12ft full-width ramps create a longer, smoother approach to the trailer deck. That helps operators load low-clearance machines with more control and less risk of high-centering.
Lower Loading Angle. Safer Equipment Moves.
Short ramps create a steep climb. That can cause machines to spin, scrape, or get stuck at the breakover point where the ramp meets the deck. A 12ft ramp spreads the climb over more distance, and a full-width design gives operators one continuous driving surface.
- Lower approach angle
The longer ramp reduces the steepness of the climb onto the deck. - Full-width surface
Operators do not need to line up narrow ramps for each machine width. - Less high-centering
Low machines are less likely to scrape or hang up at the top of the ramp.
Built to Outlast
Loading puts heavy point loads on the rear of the trailer. Southland ramps are built to make that job safer, smoother, and easier on the crew.
12ft Ramp Length
The extra length reduces the climb angle and gives operators more time to control the machine.
Steel Traction Surface
The ramp surface helps tires and tracks grip when the jobsite is muddy, wet, or dusty.
Spring Assist
Helper springs reduce the lifting effort needed to raise and lower the heavy ramp system.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Stability Starts at Ground Level.
Many loading problems start with ramp angle and ramp width. Narrow ramps must be moved for each wheelbase, and steep ramps make operators use more throttle than they should. Southland full-width ramps cover the rear of the trailer, so there are no gaps to aim around. The 12ft length lowers the approach angle, helping reduce spinouts, deck strikes, and sudden machine movement during loading.
Frequently Asked Technical Details.
They lower the loading angle. That makes it easier to drive heavy or low-clearance machines onto the deck.
It means the ramp covers the rear width of the trailer, giving you one wide driving surface instead of two narrow ramps with a gap.
High-centering happens when the bottom of a machine gets stuck at the point where the ramp meets the deck.
They are heavy-duty steel ramps, but helper springs reduce the lift effort needed to fold them up or down.
