SAFE WORKING PRACTICES
WARNING: THE WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS REFERRED TO
IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT COVER ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND
SITUATIONS THAT MAY OCCUR. IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT COMMON
SENSE AND CAUTION ARE FACTORS WHICH CANNOT BE BUILT INTO THIS
PRODUCT, BUT MUST BE APPLIED BY THE OPERATOR.
1. Read, study, understand and follow all warnings/cautions and instructions
before use. Failure to do so may result in injury and/or property damage.
2. ALWAYS load or unload on a solid, level, well lit surface.
3. Make sure that the truck or trailer is in a locked position. (Make sure parking
brakes are on). Use wheel chocks. If the truck or trailer moves forward while
loading or unloading, the ramps may slip off the vehicle causing the load
to fall.
4. DO NOT overload the ramps.
• As a loading ramp - Maximum capacity single = 250kg, pair = 500kg. All
loads must be evenly distributed.
• As a vehicle ramp - Maximum capacity single = 800kg, pair = 1600kg.
All loads must be evenly distributed.
5. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the tailgate - see your vehicle
owner's manual.
• The maximum height of the tailgate that the ramp attaches to is 76cm.
6. Always use the safety straps to securely fasten the ramps to the vehicle to
prevent the ramp slipping off the tailgate.
7. Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
8. Inspect the ramps before each use. Check fasteners for tightness and
replace any worn or damaged parts. Replace the safety strap if the
webbing is frayed or worn.
9. Ramp surfaces must be clean, dry and free from oil, grease and water.
10. Any ramp that appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be worn, or
operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE IMMEDIATELY UNTIL
REPAIRED.
11. If the ramps are believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or
stress they MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE IMMEDIATELY UNTIL FULLY
INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE.
12. DO NOT modify the ramps in any way.
13. Carefully roll or winch equipment up or down the ramps. Never drive or ride
on your equipment while loading or unloading.

VEHICLES PROTECTIVE PAINTED SURFACE.
20. These ramps are designed to be used ONLY with the flange facing the
down (see assembly instructions). To use ramp inverted with flange up (to
use sides as tyre guides) greatly reduces the weight capacity rating.
USING WHEN IN VEHICLE RAMP CONFIGURATION - (FOLDED)
1. DO NOT exceed rated capacity - 800kg per ramp.
2. Use only on a hard level surface.

drive shaft, universal joints, or wheels while the vehicle is on the ramps.
9. Make sure the wheels to be driven on to the ramps are in alignment with
the ramps and center the two ramps against the tyres.
10. Another person, standing clear of the vehicle path should observe and
guide the vehicle operator when ascending and descending the ramps.
11. NEVER accelerate or apply brakes suddenly. Proceed slowly and
cautiously. Once the vehicle reaches the top of the ramps, apply brakes to
prevent over-travel.
12. Place the vehicle in neutral gear. Release the brakes; the vehicle should
