Portable Yard Ramp is Designed, Tested and Manufactured in the USA
Bluff Manufacturing, a leader in dock and yard solutions, announces the launch of the Bluff Core Model Portable Yard Ramp, a durable, American-made solution engineered to deliver dependable performance where reliability matters most. With Core, get everything you need in a yard ramp, and nothing you don’t.
Designed as Bluff’s most streamlined and value-engineered yard ramp, the Bluff Core Model Portable Yard Ramp delivers essential strength, safety and performance without added complexity. Built with all-steel welded construction and rated for 20,000 pounds, the ramp provides efficient ground-to-truck and ground-to-building access that helps teams work smarter, move faster and stay productive.
“With the Core Model, our goal was to design a ramp that focuses on what matters most—strength, safety, and long-term durability,” said Kyle Nobile, Senior Manufacturing Engineer at Bluff. “Every detail, from the 36-foot length to the welded steel construction, was engineered to perform day after day in real world conditions. It’s a straightforward solution that operators at all kinds of facilities can trust.”
The ramp’s 36′ overall length with a 6′ level-off creates a smooth, controlled incline for safer forklift operation, while the 84″ wide deck allows confident maneuverability. A double-acting hydraulic pump enables quick height adjustments to accommodate a wide range of trailer heights, improving efficiency across changing workflows.
Positioning the ramp is simple thanks to a full undercarriage and solid 18″ rubber tires, allowing teams to move it where it’s needed most. Standard safety features, including 8″ run-off curbs, safety chains, serrated steel grating and diamond tread plate, provide reliable traction and operator confidence, even in harsh yard conditions.
Every Bluff Core Model Portable Yard Ramp is designed, tested and manufactured in the USA, and proven through 35,000 full-load test cycles, reinforcing Bluff’s reputation for long-term performance and reliability.
“The Core Model fills an important need for customers looking for a dependable, cost-effective yard ramp backed by proven engineering,” said Mark Smith, Director of Sales at 4Front Engineered Solutions. “It’s a practical solution that delivers real value without sacrificing quality or safety.”
Available with towbar or ramp clamp options, the Bluff Core Model Portable Yard Ramp integrates easily with existing equipment, making it an ideal choice for warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities seeking reliable yard access.
When operations demand a yard ramp that works as hard as the team using it, the Bluff Core Model Portable Yard Ramp delivers—job after job.
