Where It Fits

Long approach when storage space is limited

Choose a telescopic dock ramp when the forklift needs a gradual approach to vehicle height but the full ramp length cannot remain deployed between operations.

01

Space-limited yards

Fold the long approach into a more compact parked form after loading.

02

Temporary loading points

Move the folded unit to different loading positions without permanent civil work.

03

Long-reach container access

Create a controlled forklift approach where vehicle height and available slope require more length.

Good fit when

A long forklift approach is required, the equipment must remain mobile, and the parked footprint needs to be reduced.

Consider another solution when

Use a standard mobile dock ramp when there is enough permanent approach space. For a prepared raised dock, use a stationary dock leveler.

Engineering Details

Long when working, compact when parked

The multi-section structure must balance approach angle, folding movement, wheel loads, mobility and stable support in both working and stored positions.

01

Three-section folding frame

Hinged structural sections create a long deployed route and fold into a shorter storage arrangement.

02

Hydraulic folding system

Hydraulic actuation assists raising, lowering and section movement during setup.

03

Reinforced travel surface

Deck structure and anti-slip surface are designed around the specified forklift wheel loads.

04

Mobile base and supports

Wheels, towing point and stabilising supports allow repositioning and secure working setup.

05

Transition interfaces

Approach and vehicle-end plates are coordinated with the deployed geometry.

Safety Configuration

Safety built around the operating condition

A folding ramp adds moving sections and stored energy, so setup control, support deployment and exclusion zones require particular attention.

01

Section locking

Specified mechanical locks or restraints secure sections in the working or transport state.

02

Stabilising supports

Supports are deployed on firm ground before forklift traffic begins.

03

Vehicle connection

Chains or specified restraints reduce separation from the truck or container.

04

Side guardrails

Visible rails define the elevated forklift path along each section.

05

Controlled folding

Hydraulic movement should be performed only within the designated clear zone.

06

Wheel restraint

Chocks or braking measures prevent movement after positioning.

Operating note:Keep people clear of hinges and folding sections during setup. Confirm every support, lock and vehicle restraint before forklift access, and tow only in the specified folded transport condition.
Configurable by Project

Geometry comes before capacity selection

The correct solution depends on working reach, allowable slope, vehicle height, parked footprint and how the folded ramp will move through the site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before you specify Telescopic Dock Ramp

When should I choose a telescopic ramp instead of a standard mobile ramp?

Choose it when you need a long working approach but cannot keep the full ramp length deployed or stored in one straight line.

Is 12.2 m the fixed length for every project?

No. Approximately 12.2 m is a representative three-section configuration from the Haolong catalogue. Final length and width are confirmed by drawing.

How is the required capacity calculated?

Use the combined maximum weight of forklift, operator, attachments and cargo, then provide forklift wheel and dimension information for review.

What dimensions are needed?

Provide required vehicle height, available working length, maximum folded storage space, clear width, turning route and ground condition.

Can the ramp be towed around the site?

The mobile structure can be configured for low-speed site repositioning. Towing route, turning clearance and folded transport state must be confirmed.

What must be checked before unfolding?

Use firm level ground, establish a clear exclusion zone, inspect hydraulics and locks, and follow the supplied setup sequence.
