Question
Yes, with care.
Yes – provided your ramps are strong enough and your forklift isn’t too tall. The ramps we have available for hire have a load weight of 500kg and are designed for trolleys, not forklifts. Some clients install a concrete ramp for their forklifts, offering a stronger, more permanent solution. If renting, however, it is advised to do this carefully, as you will be liable to cover any costs of repairing damage caused to the container.

Most people worry about the total weight of a forklift. Engineers often worry more about the wheels. A loaded forklift concentrates its weight onto a very small contact area, which is why a container floor can experience higher pressure from a forklift tyre than from a much heavier vehicle.
