Forklift Ramp Built at a Retail Store in Ashmore

A retail store in Ashmore needed a concrete ramp so a forklift could get in and out of the loading area.

I prepared the trench, set a reinforcing cage in it and checked it for level, then used 55 MPa super-strength concrete, which stands up to heavy forklift traffic far better than standard concrete.

How I build a concrete ramp for a forklift

1. Set out the ramp so the grade suits the forklift.
2. Dig and prepare the trench on a firm base.
3. Set a reinforcing cage, tied and supported off the ground.
4. Pour high-strength concrete and finish it with grip.
5. Let it cure properly before the forklift goes on it.
