TRAVERSE ramps are made in the USA from lightweight, rust-proof aircraft-grade aluminum with a fully welded frame, so there are no bolts to loosen and no support legs to set up. Rated for loads up to 1,200 lbs, the ramp handles heavy hand-truck loads, moving equipment, and material handling day after day. A permanent non-skid surface delivers reliable traction in rain, snow, mud, and grease, and 2-inch side curbs keep wheels tracking straight on every trip. The upper lip provides a smooth transition onto the truck bed or landing without catching wheels. 3-year warranty! Order heavy duty aluminum ramps for trucks online today.
The TRAVERSE Portable Walk Ramp is available in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14-foot lengths, so you can match the ramp to the height of your tailgate, trailer deck, or loading dock and keep the incline manageable for your crew. Shorter lengths are ideal for curbs, single steps, and low trailers; longer lengths reduce the slope for high-deck box trucks and heavier rolling loads. Not sure which length you need?

Q. What is a portable walk ramp used for?
A. A portable walk ramp bridges the gap between the ground and a truck bed, van floor, trailer deck, dock, or landing so workers can roll hand trucks, dollies, and carts instead of lifting loads. The TRAVERSE Walk Ramp is designed for delivery, moving, construction, and warehouse crews that load and unload from multiple locations.
Q. How much weight can the TRAVERSE Walk Ramp hold?
A. Weight capacity varies by length. The 4, 6, 8, and 10-foot TRAVERSE Walk Ramps are rated for 1,200 lbs; the 12 and 14-foot models are rated for 850 lbs. The rating includes the weight of the load, the hand truck or cart, and the person pushing it.
Q. What length walk ramp do I need?
A. Choose the length based on the height you need to reach. As a general rule, a longer ramp creates a gentler slope, which makes rolling heavy loads easier and safer. Low trailers and single steps typically use a 4–6 ft ramp, cargo vans and pickup tailgates often use 6–10 ft, and high-deck box trucks or docks generally need 10–14 ft.

Q. Is the TRAVERSE Walk Ramp wide enough for a hand truck or appliance dolly?
A. Yes. The full 30-inch loading surface accommodates standard hand trucks, appliance dollies, and most platform carts, and the 2-inch side curbs help keep wheels on the ramp.
Q. Does the ramp fold?
A. The TRAVERSE Walk Ramp is a solid, welded, non-folding ramp, which is part of what makes it so rigid and durable. Built-in carrying handles make it easy to move, and an optional wheel kit lets you roll it. If you need a folding option for wider equipment, see the TRAVERSE Singlefold Edgeless Loading Ramp.
Q. Does the TRAVERSE Walk Ramp need support legs?
A. No. Its welded aluminum construction is strong enough to span the full length without support legs, so setup is as simple as resting the upper lip on the truck bed or landing.
Q. Does it work in wet or icy conditions?
A. The permanent non-skid surface is designed for all-weather traction, including rain and snow. As with any ramp, clear ice and heavy debris before use.
Q. Will the ramp rust or corrode?
A. No. The ramp is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, which is naturally rust-proof and suited to outdoor and commercial use.
Q. Can I leave the ramp in place permanently?
A. Yes. The TRAVERSE Walk Ramp is suitable for both temporary and permanent installations, such as a fixed step, landing, or dock transition.
Q. What is the warranty?
A. EZ-ACCESS backs the TRAVERSE Portable Walk Ramp with a 3-year manufacturer warranty. The ramp is made in the USA.
Q. How fast will it ship?
A. Orders ship free by ground and typically arrive in 3–5 business days.
Q. Is the TRAVERSE Walk Ramp ADA compliant for wheelchairs?
A. Loading ramps, including the TRAVERSE Walk Ramp, are not ADA compliant, but they can be used with wheelchairs and scooters. The 30-inch surface, 2-inch side curbs, and non-skid finish suit manual and power wheelchairs and mobility scooters where a code-compliant ramp is not required. If you need an ADA-compliant ramp for a public building or a permanent home installation, see the EZ-ACCESS PATHWAY HD modular ramp line.
