Stanley Access Technologies in Mississauga, Ontario wanted to transform a warehouse door into a dock level loading point for their work trucks. They required the ability to support pedestrian traffic including staff performing loading duties and drivers exiting their vehicles. With pedestrian traffic they also needed safe ground to platform access with an area protected from the vehicles using the ramp and platform. With the extreme climate in Southern Ontario they also needed a durable finish that would look good for many tough winter and summer seasons. Together with Stanley, Nation Ramps designed a unit that met all of their demands to win the contract. Once the contract was awarded the ramp needed to be designed, manufactured, delivered and installed.
The solution was a custom Nation Ramps ground to dock ramp, combined with a level platform and stairway that included a protected walkway. Having worked with customers like FedEx, Walmart and Home Depot, we understood the required deliverables.
Prior to beginning the manufacturing process, our engineering team produced drawings for discussion and approval. Once Stanley management were satisfied and signed off on the design, we engineered, manufactured, delivered and installed the custom ramp, platform and stairway in their Mississauga location within the required delivery timeframe.
Our Solution:
GROUND TO DOCK RAMP + PLATFORM + STAIRS
Platform Section: 25’6”L x 120”W x 49”H
Ramp Section: 26’6”L x 120”W x 49”H
Handrails: Included where needed
Structure: made of steel
Surface: finished with durathane industrial paint
Capacity: 30,000 lbs
Stairway and walkway for pedestrian & driver access
For Stanley Access Technologies, a Nation Ramps ground to dock ramp, combined with a custom platform and stairway solution was the answer to fulfill their operational requirements. With 30,000 lbs. weight capacity, a 120” wide and 26.5’ long ramp, connected to a 120” wide and 25.5’ long platform, accessorized with stairs, walkway and handrails for driver and pedestrian traffic. Designed for Stanley work truck loading at Dock level and able to handle the wear and tear of continual truck traffic, offering years of service, while still looking like the day it was installed.

Main Event Fun Games came to Nation Ramps with the need of improving efficiency and safety. Being in the event business means that they are often working in the early morning or late at night. They were concerned with ramp visibility and safety of their staff using the ramp when lighting and weather conditions were less than ideal.
The Nation Ramps solution was to use yellow high visibility paint combined with our standard reflector package. Our standard product always looks good and clean in black, but this unit had a very sharp outcome.
Our Solution:
GTD20k-27×100-50A
Ramp Length 26 Feet
Ramp Width 100 Inches
Ramp Usable Width 95 Inches
Ramp Capacity 25,000LBS (GVW)
Ramp Height – Adjustable 46″ to 50″
12” Safety Rub Rails
The Nation Ramps GTD20k-27×100-50A was our solution. Our one piece ground to dock ramp with 25,000 lb weight capacity, 8’4” wide ramp and flexibility to adjust height from 46” to 50”. Designed to be versatile enough to accommodate a multitude of vehicle types. Without the need for permits, the Nation Ramps GTD20K unit was shipped and installed within three weeks. We also arranged to ship the unit with ramps for two other clients – which kept the freight costs lower and meant that our client was able to purchase a quality North American made ramp for the same price as the off-shore options.
Main Event elected to purchase on a lease to own program, so our team worked with Meridian OneCap to quickly get them qualified. This allowed them to fulfill their need for the equipment without utilize important operating cash to make a capital purchase. The lease to own program from Meridian OneCap and ramp from Nation Ramps was the perfect combination.
Nation Ramps products are designed for durability with high quality North American steel, built to survive the rigors of unforgiving and non-stop use. Chosen by Main Event Fun Games because we were capable of meeting their short delivery window, budget and custom high visibility paint requirements.
