Refrigerated Container Ramps

Refrigerated Shipping Containers have a raised floor that sits higher than Standard Containers. The T-bar flooring also finishes short of the door opening, creating a gap that a regular ramp can’t bridge properly. Our refrigerated container ramps are built taller with extended flaps that reach across to the ribbed floor edge, giving your forklift a smooth, level transition into the Refrigerated Container.

Which Shipping Containers work with our ramps?

Our standard Shipping Container Ramps suit 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft containers in both standard and High Cube heights. That covers the majority of shipping containers across Australia.

For Refrigerated (Reefer) Containers, you’ll need a dedicated Reefer ramp. These are designed for the higher floor height and T-bar flooring found in 20ft and 40ft refrigerated shipping containers. A standard ramp won’t bridge the gap correctly on a reefer unit, so it’s important to match the ramp to your container type.

If you’re unsure which ramp fits your setup, contact our team to confirm compatibility.

Common reasons for buying a Container Ramp

Container ramps are ideal for businesses or homeowners who regularly load and unload a Shipping Container. They also make it safer and easier to move heavy items with forklifts or pallet jacks.

  • Warehouses and distribution centres

  • Construction and mining sites

  • Farms and rural properties

  • Retail and wholesale operations

  • Food processing facilities using refrigerated containers

  • Yes, most ramps are designed to suit standard containers and are compatible with forklifts. Just match the ramp size and weight capacity to your needs.

  • To move a shipping container ramp, insert forklift tynes into the front tyne pockets, lift slightly, and carefully reposition. Ensure the forklift is rated for the ramp’s weight. Once in place, secure the ramp using the eyelets and safety chains to prevent shifting during use.
