Project Spotlight: Delivering a Mega-Order of 56 Heavy-Duty Dock to Ground Ramps in 30 Days
At HANMOKE, we thrive on large-scale challenges that test our engineering, manufacturing, and logistical prowess. We are proud to announce the successful completion and installation of a monumental project: 56 custom-built Dock to Ground Ramps for a major national logistics hub. This mega-order, from contract to fully operational site, was executed in an impressive 30-day timeline, showcasing our commitment to delivering not just products, but comprehensive, turnkey solutions on schedule.
Project Overview: Scaling Up for a Logistics Giant
The client, a leader in supply chain and distribution, needed to equip a vast new cross-docking facility with robust, reliable, and high-capacity ground access points. Their requirement was clear: dozens of identical, heavy-duty ramps to facilitate the rapid, safe flow of materials between ground-level yards and their dock positions for a variety of equipment.
This was not a task for standard, off-the-shelf equipment. It demanded precision, scale, and speed—a perfect match for our integrated manufacturing and project execution capabilities.
Engineering the Workhorse: The 20-Ton Pure Incline Ramp
Each of the 56 units was built to exacting, heavy-duty specifications to serve as the backbone of the facility’s outdoor material handling.
- Design: Pure incline (Dock to Ground) ramp, optimized for continuous, high-cycle traffic.
- Critical Dimensions: A substantial 13-meter length (including integrated approach/departure plates) and a generous 4400mm (4.4m) overall width, creating a wide, stable channel for simultaneous or large equipment movement.
- Load Capacity: Engineered for a rigorous 20-ton dynamic load, confidently supporting laden multi-ton forklifts, heavy machinery on tracks, and other demanding cargo.
- Key Features:
- Durability-First Decking: Hot-dip galvanized steel grating was selected for its exceptional combination of strength, slip resistance, and complete corrosion protection. This ensures long-term performance with minimal maintenance, critical for an outdoor, all-weather application.
- Full Mobility: Designed as a mobile unit, allowing the client to reposition ramps as yard layouts and operational needs evolve.
- Universal Access: The pure slope design provides essential access for a range of equipment: forklifts moving pallets, telehandlers with bulky goods, and even small mobile cranes requiring stable ground-to-dock transition.
The 30-Day Sprint: From Order to Operational
The client’s aggressive project timeline made this delivery a significant undertaking. Our success was rooted in a seamless, multi-departmental workflow:
- Precision Planning & Kitting (Days 1-5): Upon order confirmation, our engineering team finalized all custom drawings. Simultaneously, procurement activated to secure bulk materials, and production planning created an optimized, parallel assembly schedule for 56 units.
- Parallelized Production in Our Facility (Days 6-25): Leveraging our 20,000 sqm manufacturing space, we executed a production-line approach. Structural fabrication, grating panel preparation, and leg assembly occurred concurrently. Quality checks were integrated at every stage to ensure all 56 ramps met identical, high standards.
- Coordinated Logistics & Staging (Days 20-28): A dedicated logistics plan was activated. Completed ramps were systematically prepared for shipment, with sequencing coordinated to match the installation schedule at the client’s site.
- On-Site Installation & Commissioning (Days 28-30): Our trained installation team worked efficiently on-site, positioning, levelling, and finalizing each ramp. The client received a fully functional fleet, ready for immediate operation on Day 30.
Why This Project Highlights the HANMOKE Difference
This mega-order exemplifies what sets us apart as a direct manufacturer and solution provider:
- Capacity for Scale: We have the factory floor space, skilled workforce, and supply chain relationships to handle large-volume orders without compromising quality or lead time.
- Agile Project Execution: Our vertical integration—controlling design, sourcing, fabrication, and installation—allows for unparalleled coordination and speed on complex projects.
- Engineering for Real Demands: We don’t just build ramps; we engineer material flow solutions. Understanding the need for 20-ton capacity, galvanized durability, and mobile flexibility was key to this project’s success.
