A Complete Guide to Truck Ramps and Ratchet-Type Jack Stands

Truck ramps and ratchet-type jack stands are essential tools in vehicle maintenance, repair, and industrial operations. These pieces of equipment ensure that lifting, supporting, and loading vehicles or heavy machinery can be done safely and efficiently.

Truck Ramps

Truck ramps provide a stable inclined surface that allows vehicles, heavy machinery, and equipment to be loaded onto trucks, trailers, or elevated platforms. They are indispensable for workshops, warehouses, and transport operations where mobility and stability are critical.

Strongarm Super Heavy-Duty Truck Ramps

The Strongarm Super Heavy-Duty Truck Ramps are built for maximum strength and reliability, offering a 20-ton load capacity to safely lift large vehicles with tires up to 16 inches wide. Measuring 47" L x 18.25" W x 9.25" H, these compact yet powerful ramps feature a retractable handle for easy maneuvering, a rubber non-skid pad for secure placement, and are sold as a pair for complete lifting support. Designed for durability, safety, and ease of use, they are an essential solution for heavy-duty vehicle maintenance and lifting tasks.

Ratchet-Type Jack Stands

Ratchet-type jack stands are mechanical supports that securely hold vehicles or equipment after being lifted with a jack. Unlike hydraulic jacks that only lift, these stands prevent accidental lowering, making them indispensable for safe maintenance.

Dynaline Ratchet Type Jack Stands

Dynaline Ratchet Type Jack Stands deliver unmatched safety, strength, and stability for lifting operations in automotive, industrial, and construction settings. Built with durable A3 welded steel and finished with rust-resistant powder coating, these stands feature a ratchet locking gear for precise height adjustment and a load-lock handle to prevent accidental lowering. Meeting ANSI 2009 safety standards, they are available in 3-ton, 6-ton, and 12-ton capacities, each sold as a pair for balanced support.

FAQs

1. What makes truck ramps different from regular loading ramps?

Truck ramps are specifically engineered to handle the heavy weight and larger tire widths of trucks and industrial vehicles, unlike regular loading ramps that are designed for lighter equipment. They provide a stable, inclined surface that ensures smooth loading and unloading while minimizing the risk of slippage or uneven weight distribution, making them ideal for workshops, warehouses, and transport operations.

2. How do Strongarm Super Heavy-Duty Truck Ramps ensure vehicle safety during lifting?

The Strongarm Super Heavy-Duty Truck Ramps prioritize safety with their 20-ton load capacity, non-skid rubber pads for secure placement, and compact design that balances strength with stability. The retractable handle allows easy repositioning without compromising steadiness, while the wide tire accommodation of up to 16 inches ensures that heavy-duty vehicles sit firmly on the ramps without risk of tipping.

3. Why are ratchet-type jack stands considered safer than hydraulic jacks alone?

Hydraulic jacks are designed for lifting vehicles, but they cannot hold the weight securely for long periods, leaving a risk of accidental lowering. Ratchet-type jack stands, on the other hand, provide a locking mechanism that keeps vehicles safely elevated after lifting, ensuring stable support and preventing accidents during repairs or inspections.

4. What is the benefit of choosing Dynaline Ratchet Type Jack Stands over other brands?

Dynaline Ratchet Type Jack Stands stand out for their heavy-duty A3 welded steel construction, rust-resistant powder coating, and ANSI 2009 safety certification, which guarantee both durability and compliance with safety standards. Available in multiple capacities—3-ton, 6-ton, and 12-ton—they give users flexibility to choose the right size for their needs, making them suitable for automotive, industrial, and construction applications.

5. How do I know which truck ramp size and weight capacity I need?

Choosing the right truck ramp depends on the type of vehicle you’re loading, the maximum vehicle weight, and the tire width. For heavy-duty trucks and machinery, ramps like the Strongarm 20-ton pair are essential to safely support massive loads. Always check your vehicle’s gross weight and tire dimensions before purchase to ensure compatibility with the ramp’s specifications.
