Shipping Container Loading Ramps
Making loading and unloading safer, quicker and easier.
Containers Direct sell a range of container ramps, designed to make loading and unloading safer, quicker and easier. The interior floor of shipping and storage containers is approximately 7 inches from the ground, which can make lifting large or heavy objects into the container difficult. Using a container loading ramp reduces health and safety risks associated with heavy lifting and if moving liquids, the risks of spillage during movement.
Our container ramps provide the perfect solution - they are designed to fit between the corner posts of the container doors to provide ramped access for pallets and forklifts, making light work of loading your container. Our ramps are fabricated in our own workshops, to high standards and we offer three standard designs and sizes for different requirements. Bespoke sizes and designs are also available upon request.
Heavy Duty Container Loading Ramps
We can make ramps to any required size or weight tolerance, however we do have two standard products: a 4ft and an 8ft container ramp. Please note; we design our ramps to fit to the door opening of the container between the corner posts, meaning the width is slightly less than 4ft/8ft.
Examples of our 4ft and 8ft Container Ramps
Recommended Modification
Our standard container loading ramps are not designed to be left in situ, but instead moved up against the container as and when required. Particularly for our 8ft container ramps, we would advise that you also choose to have the doors of your container adapted so the ramp can be left in situ; at over 100kgs, they're not the lightest! To achieve this, we remove the bottom 'cam keepers' of the container locking arms so the ramp can be left in place permanently.

Standard Car Ramps
Storing cars and other vehicles in containers is commonplace, but a container ramp is essential for entry. We have designed a car ramp especially for this purpose - with two pieces at 6ft long x 1ft wide each, they can be spaced apart to fit any width of any chassis. These can also be used for quad bike storage.
CarTainer Loading Ramps
For our CarTainer product, we have designed a heavy duty (5 tonne tolerance), low level ramp that can be left in situ, even when opening and closing the container doors. For containers suitable for car storage, see our article Containers for Car Storage.
Other container ramps
We make any size ramp to order - please enquire for details. We can also make hinged, fold up ramps, which are particularly suitable for disabled access in a range of container conversions, for example offices, catering and pop-up shops.
All our container ramps come in standard colours of green, blue or black, but can be repainted to any other colour for a small charge.

"The container is in situ and it is as new, just perfect. Your driver was amazing and made sure everything was spot on before he left. A company opposite us has four on site and ours makes them look very secondhand indeed. Thanks again. We have already had so really good comments and without doubt, if asked, we will give them your details."Alligator Dynamic Drapes
