I had a customer ask me, based on his existing fleet of forklifts, how long his ramp would need to be at his new (yet to be built) warehouse.

He wanted to know at what point the underside of his forklift would catch at the peak of the ramp and get hung up.

Could he build a shorter ramp to save space and money? How much longer would it have to be if he wanted to move his reach trucks outside for maintenance?

So I put together an online calculator to help him figure out how much clearance each forklift would have.

The link is: RaymondHandlingSolutions.com/rampcalculator.html

Let me know if this is helpful to anyone.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
