Bremco’s Folding Forklift Container Ramp
Engineered and built in our Australian factory, Bremco’s folding forklift container ramps are designed to make shipping container access easy. Our unique folding design makes it simple for forklift operators to transport and place the forklift container ramp in place. Fitted with forklift pockets under the main body of the ramp, our folding forklift container ramp allows operators to approach containers straight on. This method requires less adjustment, ensuring the container forklift ramp is secured properly the first time around.
Built from tough steel with fully welded construction, our folding forklift container ramps are suitable for every load. The folding design means our forklift ramps for containers are capable of self-levelling on heights from 150mm to 250mm, making them ideal for use on uneven or gravel surfaces. Depending on your requirements we can supply a forklift container ramp in three different models with working load limits up to 9000kg. The high capacity of our forklift container ramps makes them suitable for use with heavy goods and large forklift trucks, improving efficiency onsite and protecting workers from unnecessary strain.
Fixed Forklift Ramps for Containers
A great alternative to our folding ramps, Bremco’s fixed forklift ramp design delivers the same performance at a cost-effective price point.
Produced with a fixed frame, our forklift ramps for containers are easy to use and perfect for accessing all standard shipping containers. To ensure easy positioning, our fixed ramps are fitted with forklift pockets along each side. This allows operators to place and adjust our ramps before securing them to the container with the included locking chain.
The simplicity of Bremco’s fixed forklift ramps for containers makes them ideal for use with both forklifts and pallet trucks. For powered forklifts, we supply ramps that are 1500mm long, but our new 1800mm ramp is ideal for accessing containers with manual pallet trucks. Suitable for handling loads up to 6000kg, our fixed forklift ramps for containers are a versatile solution for every work site.

Forklift Container Ramp FAQs
What is a forklift container ramp?
A forklift container ramp is a heavy-duty portable ramp that is used to drive a forklift in and out of shipping containers, to make it easy to access and move palletised goods and awkward loads. Container ramps eliminate manual handling of shipping container goods and allows the efficient and safe loading and unloading.
How does a forklift container ramp work?
A forklift container ramp bridges the gap and height difference between the ground and container lip, allowing a forklift to drive in and out of the container to load and unload goods.
What are some of the common types of forklift container ramps?
Fixed container ramps and folding container ramps are two of the most common types of ramps. Fixed ramps provide a rigid, permanent bridge between the container and the ground, which means they do not slide or shift during use. Folding container ramps are a heavy duty, portable ramp, reducing the bulkiness of fixed ramps, increasing space and allowing easy movement and storage of the ramp. Container ramp weight capacities and ramp lengths also vary, and can be customised to your requirements.
How do you secure a forklift container ramp?
A forklift container ramp is secured by first positioning the ramp using the built in tyne pockets to rest the ramp flat and even on the container floor. Wrap the safety chains securely around the anchor points or heavy duty steel castings on the shipping container. Fasten the hooks to the chains, ensuring there is no slack, and the ramp is pulled tight against the container ledge.
What is the Australian safety standard for forklift container ramps?
In Australian, forklift container ramps must adhere to strict engineering standards, including AS2359.1 (powered industrial trucks) and AS/NZS 1554.1 (structural steel welding).
What are the important safety considerations when using a forklift container ramp?
- Ensure the forklift container ramp is securely attached to the shipping container using the built-in safety chains and pins. This prevents the ramp from moving or slipping as the forklift drives over it.
- The ramp must be resting on stable, level ground. This prevents tilting, wobbling, and uneven weight distribution
- Never exceed the container ramp’s rated weight capacity.
- Never turn the forklift on the ramp and use smooth movements when driving the forklift up and down the ramp.
- Perform checks before every use of the container ramp, including a visual inspection to identify any cracks or structural deformities.
- Ensure the container ramp has been certified to meet Australian Standards and is inspected annually by a qualified technician.
