Ramps in conversion vehicles are indispensable to individuals with disabilities, but they also offer safety and convenience for individuals and businesses that need to load and unload heavy items from a vehicle.

Safety

According to OSHA , lifting heavy objects is one of the leading causes of injuries in the workplace. These injuries can be brought on by a single event or develop gradually over time. Often they are ignored until the symptoms become acute and result in a debilitating injury. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more then 36 percent of the injuries that involved missing days of work were the result of shoulder or back injuries. As the average age of the work force increases and medical costs rise, OSHA expects an increase in the frequency of back injuries as well. This is why they suggest using a ramp when loading heavy objects and equipment into vehicles.

Convenience

Conversion vehicles with ramps are a great choice for individuals and businesses that haul supplies and equipment on a regular basis. In addition to reducing the risk of injury, ramps can also save valuable time. They make loading and unloading quick and efficient. Instead of making multiple trips with heavy equipment, you can simply wheel out toolboxes, utility carts, and more. Imagine having everything you need close at hand instead of running back and forth.

There are a variety of conversion vehicles with ramps available and many can be customized to fit the specific needs of your business. These vehicles offer heavy duty, wide ramps with non-slip surfaces that allow you to safely and easily load and unload your cargo. The lightweight ramps are spring-assisted and manually operated. This makes them affordable, low maintenance, and ready for use at any time.
