Copperloy 20,000 lb Mobile Yard Ramp — 84" Wide (SYR20-84-36PL8)

The Copperloy SYR20-84-36PL8 is a heavy-duty steel mobile yard ramp built for warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities that need to load and unload semi-trucks without a permanent loading dock. With a 20,000 lb capacity and a 84" overall width (76" usable), this ramp accommodates most electric forklifts, propane forklifts, and lift trucks with room to maneuver safely.

Manufactured in the USA at Copperloy's facility in Twinsburg, Ohio — with over 70 years of yard ramp manufacturing experience — this ramp is engineered to be the easiest to position, the fastest to raise, and the most stable on the market. It's the #1 choice of dock crews across the country.

Key Features

• 20,000 lb capacity — handles forklifts and loaded pallets in the most demanding industrial environments
• 36' overall length with 8' level-off — allows forklifts to enter trailers at a level approach without stopping; provides extra room to reach loads at the back of the truck
• 84" overall width (76" usable) — accommodates most electric and propane forklifts
• Fastest raise time in its class — single-acting hydraulic hand pump raises the ramp ½" with each pump stroke; 2.5x faster than standard ramps and 20x faster than caster wheel ramps
• Single cylinder design — raises evenly with one centrally-located cylinder; improves balance and stability, reduces probability of tipping, and requires fewer pumps to reach the desired height
• Forklift positioning sleeve (included standard) — three-point connection allows 180° rotation for easy maneuvering in tight spaces; rotation occurs on the sleeve rather than the ramp connection, minimizing wear on the ramp structure over time
• Smooth side plates — enclose and protect all working components from damage by other equipment in the yard
• Electro-forged serrated steel grating — 1–3/4" bearing bars spaced 1" apart for superior all-weather traction; snow, rain, and debris fall through; will not clog
• 7" safety curbs with patented box frame — prevent accidental vehicle runoff; hollow section design handles stress of heavy loads and cargo breakout
• 15" lip with 8-foot safety chains — deep overlap rests firmly on truck carrier body, dock floor, or platform; chains secure the ramp to the trailer during all loading operations
• Premium 18" solid/pneumatic tires (standard) — maintenance-free, lubricated-for-life bearings; no air required, no risk of flats or blowouts; performs well on regular and uneven surfaces
• 36" low-end plate, beveled underside — shorter than the wheelbase of most forklifts so front wheels reach high-traction grating while rear wheels stay on the ground; eliminates jolts and bumps as forklifts travel on and off
• Pump handle stored out of the way — easy outside-frame access for adjustment and maintenance; handle stows safely when not in use
• Made in the USA — manufactured at Copperloy's Twinsburg, Ohio facility

Why Copperloy vs. the Competition

Copperloy's single-acting hydraulic pump raises the ramp 2.5x faster than standard two-cylinder ramps and 20x faster than caster wheel ramps — meaning your crew spends less time setting up and more time loading. The positioning sleeve is standard on all Copperloy steel ramps (many competitors charge extra or omit it entirely), and the 8-foot level-off gives forklifts two additional feet of flat approach compared to the 6-foot level-off common on other ramps in this class. The centrally-located single cylinder also prevents the wobbling and tipping common in two-cylinder designs.

What Is a Mobile Yard Ramp?

A mobile yard ramp creates a portable loading dock anywhere you need one — no construction required. Instead of backing a truck to a fixed dock, you wheel the ramp into position, connect it to the trailer, and drive your forklift straight up. It's the fastest way to load and unload semi-trucks at ground level, and because it's mobile, you can reposition it across your yard as demand shifts. Common uses include facilities without a permanent loading dock, overflow dock capacity during peak seasons, outdoor loading areas, and temporary setups at job sites or rail yards.

Towbar (Optional)

Add a towbar to tow the ramp short distances within your facility using a forklift. The towbar attaches to the lower end of the ramp and allows repositioning at up to 5 mph — not intended for long-distance or over-the-road towing. For longer distances within your facility, use the positioning sleeve. Compatible with all Copperloy steel mobile yard ramp models. Ships together with the ramp when ordered at the same time.
