we're designing a building that will have a 12in curb to contain oil in case of a leak. A forklift should be able to go up and down the curb. Looks like most forklifts are able to go up or down a 20% slope with load facing uphill. In our case a forklift will have to go down the slope with load facing downhill because there's no platform at the pivot point. So I'm thinking on one side we could make a ramp with a 20% slope but what's the maximum slope we could make it on the other side, 10%?? (so a typical pallet warehouse forklift can safely go down with load facing downhill)
If there's any OSHA codes please let me know, all I found from OSHA is "Do not travel on ramps with slopes or other conditions that exceed the manufacturer's recommendation"
Also forklift won't have to drive in and out often, so we want to make the shortest ramp
