I have a friend who owns a construction site, and he is constantly in the process of building a new ramp for his lift truck. He has a ramp that is so wide it’s not wide at all. It is only 20-25 ft. wide, and he plans to add a second one on the same site as the first one. This ramp will be a little over 4,000 lbs.
The problem, of course, is that when you’re adding a ramp, you are taking away a ramp. That’s a lot of weight, and it will require a lot of labor to do it right.
The ramps are part of the reason why the lift trucks are so expensive. At only $200 apiece, they cost a lot more than the ramp, which adds to the cost. Ramp construction can run into tens of thousands of dollars, and the labor costs can be even higher.
It’s a good idea to do it right.
I think the ramps for lifted trucks are the only thing that I have ever seen that are so expensive. They are made from steel, which can be hard to find, and they are made to be very heavy, so you are taking away a lot of the lift trucks’ utility, as well as their value.
Ramp building can be very cheap, especially if you use a steel rebar method, but it will cost you, and in some cases, can be extremely dangerous to your property. While I have to agree that ramp construction should be done right, I have to admit I’m not so fond of the ramp. They can be expensive to maintain, and they can wear out quickly, so I think they should be reserved for the most special occasions.
My first real ramp building project was in high school. I don’t have the best track record in that regard. I ended up having to put up a ramp to a storage locker, which left me with a bunch of scrap metal and a huge hole in the ground.

The ramp in question was a really good idea, but I’m not sure it was the best idea.

In any case, a ramp for lifted trucks makes sense to me. And I don’t think it’s that hard to build a ramp. It just may not be the best idea. I don’t know if you can get the ramp done in time. But it would be cool to see ramps built at that special time.
