A critical requirement was the ability to cope with the diversity of trailers arriving from across Europe, as Henry McLean explains. “We found that trucks from the UK often vary in height from those travelling from Germany or the Netherlands, so we set out to find a versatile solution that would enable us to load and unload whatever the style of trailer.”

A bespoke wide ramp that would meet RJ & KD McLean’s needs was already being used by another Thorworld customer. Once the tractor dealer had seen the unit in action, an equivalent ramp was manufactured and supplied and is already proving its worth across a variety of uses.

With an adjustable height, the ramp can be raised and lowered safely and with minimum effort, in order create the perfect loading-level for any size of truck, while the ramp’s 3m width ensures that operators can easily and safely unload a range of farm and plant vehicles.
