An access ramp system for access between a first and a second object is provided. The second object is elevated with respect to the first object. The system includes: a supporting frame mountable to the first object; a casing box mounted to the supporting frame; a sliding ramp installed to slide inside the casing box; and a deployment mechanism for automatically moving the sliding ramp between a stand-by and a fully deployed position. In the deployed position, a nose of the sliding ramp is raised to a height equal with the second object and is engaged with the second object. In the deployed position, the sliding ramp and casing box extend across a vertical gap and a horizontal gap between the first and second objects. An upper surface of the sliding ramp and casing box defines a support surface for supporting people or objects moving between the first and second objects.

The invention relates to apparatus for use in the movement of goods and includes a transportable goods storage area or trailer. The trailer can be moved to a position adjacent a platform of lifting apparatus to allow goods to be moved to and from the trailer. A bridging assembly including one or more bridge portions is provided to form a bridge between the plat form and floor of the trailer. In one embodiment weight detection means are provided to allow the weight of the transportable goods storage area or trailer, and the goods therein, to be detected and compared to predetermined weight limits.

A modular loading dock that includes a planar ramp member with lower and upper ends. The upper end abuts a preexisting structure and the lower end has a lower edge with a lip, the lip is able to be activated between an extended/engaged position to contact a truck bed. The ramp member has an at least thirteen foot long hydraulically-adjustable ramp section with an integrated dock leveler, the entire length of the ramp section is able to be moved between an upward and downward position. The loading dock also includes a base with top and bottom surfaces, the top surface has an opening to receive a dock leveler into the opening and a dock housing consisting of a modular frame mounted onto the base in sections. The length and adjustability of the planar ramp member allows accommodation of large-sized trailers as well as smaller-in-size delivery trucks and vans.

The present invention relates to a cargo loading system. The cargo loading system includes: a frame; a plurality of height adjustment devices which is formed on the top surface of the frame; a support plate which is disposed on the tops of the plurality of height adjustment devices; a second guide rail which k disposed on the top surface of the support plate; a connection device which connects an end of a first guide rail formed on the loading part of a transportation device; a fastening device which is coupled to an end of the loading part; a movable body which is provided with driving rollers; a drive device which k disposed on the rear side of the support plate; a fastening plate which is disposed on the movable body; and a guide line which is disposed adjacent to the second guide rail.

The present invention provides an automatic loading apparatus including a loading platform and a transfer plate. The transfer plate includes a rolling portion and a ramp portion. The rolling portion includes plural roller modules. Each of the roller modules includes a metal frame and plural upper rollers and lower rollers disposed in the metal frame. An upper surface of the transfer plate is made up of the upper rollers, and a lower surface of the transfer plate is made up of the lower rollers. The ramp portion is connected to the rolling portion and arranged on one end of the transfer plate.

A military deployable ramp system assembled from sectional modules and used to load/unload heavy wheeled and tracked vehicles on/off rail cars and other transport platforms. The design of the system affords potential to handle such vehicles in a wide range of environments, particularly at remote train track locations. The assembled modular ramp consists of two main parallel load-bearing ramp tracks, connected to each other via central bridging supports. Sections slide together vertically and connect using structural angles which are retained in opposing guide channels, eliminating the need for fixing hardware. Once assembled the ramp can be dismantled by lifting off each section clear of the others in order. The ramp sections independently find their own level relative to each other on unprepared ground. Additional restraint is provided by integrated lashing points for sections to be tethered together to enhance its assembled rigidity.
