List of products by brand METALMEC

MetalMec is an Italian manufacturer specialised in the design and manufacture of aluminium ramps and professional loading and unloading systems. With over 30 years of experience, the company develops strong and lightweight solutions for transporting machinery, vehicles, equipment and goods in sectors such as construction, agriculture, logistics, gardening, automotive and earthmoving.

At Electrochannel, you can find a wide selection of MetalMec ramps with different lengths, widths and load capacities, from lightweight models for small equipment to professional ramps capable of supporting machinery weighing several tonnes.

MetalMec aluminium ramps

MetalMec aluminium ramps are designed to make loading and unloading machinery and vehicles easier by overcoming the height difference between the ground and a trailer, van, truck or platform.

The use of aluminium alloys makes it possible to achieve a high ratio between strength and weight, making the ramps easier to handle and transport without sacrificing the load capacities required for professional work.

MetalMec offers an extensive range with different profiles, lengths, widths and support systems to adapt to the type of machine and the conditions of each loading operation.

MetalMec ramps for machinery

One of the main applications of MetalMec ramps for machinery is the loading and unloading of equipment used in construction, agriculture, gardening and maintenance.

Depending on the selected series, they can be used with mini excavators, skid steer loaders, dumpers, compact tractors, lawn mowers, rotary tillers, generators, compressors and other wheeled or tracked machines.

To work correctly, it is essential to select a ramp whose capacity is compatible with the machine weight and with its wheelbase or support length.

MetalMec ramps for excavators and mini excavators

MetalMec offers specific solutions for loading excavators and mini excavators onto trailers, trucks and transport platforms.

These applications require ramps capable of supporting heavy loads and correctly adapting to the machine’s running system, especially when working with tracks.

Some MetalMec profiles incorporate machined, perforated or embossed non-slip surfaces designed to improve grip and facilitate the evacuation of water, mud or dirt.

MetalMec ramps for heavy machinery

Within the manufacturer’s catalogue, there are high-capacity aluminium ramps for heavy machinery and especially demanding applications.

MetalMec manufactures models capable of supporting loads of several tonnes per pair, with configurations that can far exceed the usual capacities of lightweight ramps.

These solutions are intended for sectors such as construction, earthmoving, industry and professional transport, where it is essential to size the ramp correctly before carrying out any operation.

MetalMec ramps for vans

MetalMec loading ramps for vans allow machinery, trolleys, equipment and goods to be loaded into and removed from commercial vehicles.

There are lightweight and compact models intended for moderate loads, as well as more robust versions for heavier professional equipment.

Choosing a suitable length makes it possible to reduce the access incline and make moving the equipment up and down easier.

MetalMec ramps for trailers

MetalMec ramps for trailers allow agricultural machinery, construction equipment, light vehicles and other items to be loaded onto platforms and transport trailers.

Depending on the model, they may incorporate different head and support systems to adapt to the trailer loading edge and keep the ramp correctly positioned during use.

Ramps for agriculture and gardening

MetalMec offers numerous solutions for agricultural and gardening machinery, allowing lawn mowers, small tractors, rotary tillers, forestry machinery and other equipment to be loaded onto vehicles and trailers.

For this type of work, it is especially useful to combine a lightweight structure with surfaces designed to provide grip even when there may be traces of soil, moisture or vegetation.

MetalMec non-slip ramps

The surface of a ramp is essential to maintain correct traction during loading and unloading.

MetalMec uses different aluminium profile designs with non-slip, machined or perforated surfaces depending on the series and intended application.

Some models incorporate perforations that help evacuate elements such as water, mud and snow, improving the behaviour of the surface in demanding working conditions.

MetalMec ramps with and without edges

Within the MetalMec range, there are ramps with side edges and ramps without edges. The choice mainly depends on the type of machine, the width of its wheels or tracks and the way it will be used.

Edges can help define the usable surface of certain ramps, while edgeless models offer an open surface suitable for other machinery configurations.

It is important to always check the usable width of the ramp and ensure that the wheels or tracks rest correctly on the surface.

MetalMec folding and foldable ramps

MetalMec also manufactures folding and foldable ramps designed to reduce the space occupied during transport and storage.

These solutions are especially useful for vans, commercial vehicles, events and jobs where the ramp needs to be transported regularly inside the vehicle itself.

The load capacity may vary compared with the equivalent rigid version, so the specific specifications of the model should always be checked.

MetalMec platforms and loading systems

In addition to portable ramps, MetalMec develops platforms, loading bridges, access ramps and logistics systems.

These solutions make it possible to overcome small height differences, connect loading surfaces and facilitate the movement of trolleys, pallet trucks, forklifts and other equipment used in warehouses and professional installations.

MetalMec ramps for logistics

In warehouses, logistics centres and transport operations, height differences may exist between vehicles, loading docks and work surfaces.

MetalMec solutions make it possible to create transition points for the movement of goods, pallet trucks, trolleys and handling equipment, with models specifically designed for each type of load.

What length of MetalMec ramp should you choose?

The length of the ramp is one of the most important factors for carrying out loading correctly. The greater the height to be overcome, the longer the ramp will normally need to be in order to maintain a suitable incline.

A ramp that is too short can create an excessive incline, make it difficult for the machine to move up or cause certain parts of the vehicle to come into contact with the surface.

Before choosing a model, it is advisable to know the loading height and the characteristics of the machinery in order to select a suitable length.

What load capacity does a MetalMec ramp need?

The capacity indicated for a MetalMec ramp may depend not only on the model, but also on its length and the machine’s wheelbase.

For this reason, a ramp should not be selected based only on the total weight of the vehicle. It is necessary to consult the capacity table corresponding to the model and check the exact configuration that will be used.

It should also be verified whether the capacity indicated by the manufacturer corresponds to a single ramp or a pair of ramps.

Over 30 years manufacturing aluminium loading systems

MetalMec has more than 30 years of experience in the design, production and marketing of loading and unloading systems made from aluminium alloys.

The company develops its products at its facilities in Mapello, Italy, combining industrial manufacturing processes with specialised welding and machining operations.

Its catalogue covers numerous professional applications, from small portable ramps to systems for heavy machinery, transport and logistics.

Which MetalMec ramp should you choose?

To correctly select a MetalMec ramp, it is advisable to know at least the machine weight, wheelbase or track length, wheel or track width, loading height and type of support surface.

It is also necessary to assess whether a ramp with or without edges is needed, the type of connection with the vehicle and whether it will need to be transported regularly.

The right choice makes it possible to achieve a suitable incline and use the ramp capacity within the conditions established by the manufacturer.
