Definitive CLM designs and produces aluminum loading ramps for the construction sector. Compact construc-tion’s logistics quick and easy with the small series.
Definitive CLM is specialized in the design, production and sale of high-performance aluminum loading ramps dedicated to earthmoving machinery. The range includes ramps for wheeled, rubber or steel tracked vehicles and maintenance stations. The quality of these tools is essential,
the ramp being a fundamental element for the logistics of all industrial vehicles and for safe loading and un-loading phases.
Multipurpose and multifunctional equipment
Definitive CLM loading ramps are used in various sectors including earthmoving, loading and unloading of mini-excavators, mini-loaders, wheeled and tracked excavators, as well as backhoe loaders. They are used for handling of hydraulic and aerial platforms, telescopic lifts and motorized wheelbarrows. They are often re-quested from municipality and green maintenance companies for lawnmowers, tractors and motor hoes.
Handle and use of aluminum ramp
Aluminum loading ramps are simple equipment but require some good rules of use especially for their han-dling and installation. Before positioning the CLM Definitive ramps the means of transport need to be safely parked on a flat and solid surface. Tipper body equipped vehicles must be fixed in a horizontal (lowered) posi-tion.
Locking of the ramps on the vehicle must follow the given model. If a fixing pin is used it must have specific requirements in terms of dimensions and materials depending on the machine to be loaded.
Lightweight and resistant materials
Definitive CLM uses extremely high-strength 6082 aluminum to guarantee quality and maximum performance over time.Its main feature is a low specific weight equal to a third of that of steel. The structure of these ramps also re-mains unchanged over time thanks to a very thin layer of oxide which prevents oxygen from penetrating and corroding the underlying material.
Definitive CLM uses the DOUBLE T profile which guarantees the highest value of resistance and flexing with the least surface area and therefore with the least weight.
Precautions during loading
A good practice is checking the weight of the vehicle which must comply with the capacity before moving it. It is also necessary to check the distance between the ramps and make sure that the width of the ramp is equal to or greater than the width of the wheel or track of the vehicle to be moved.
When moving the vehicle it is necessary to get on or off at a speed between 1 and 2 km/h without carrying out aggressive maneuvers to adjust the direction avoiding sudden acceleration or braking.
The range for compact earthmoving machines
Among the most requested ramps in the Definitive CLM catalog for the construction sector are those dedicat-ed to compact vehicles, both wheeled and tracked. This is a segment of earthmoving machinery that is ex-tremely sensitive to the speed of loading and unloading on vehicles with a gross vehicle mass of 3.5 tonnes or light trolleys. In this type of machine a high frequency of movement from one site to another is necessary even several times a day.
Series 55/75/85
The entry level of Definitive CLM is represented by the 55/75/85 Series. It is suitable for loading medium-light weight vehicles such as construction machinery, agricultural and garden equipment or garden tractors equipped with rubber tires or tracks, as well as minidumpers tracked vehicles with a maximum load capacity of 3.6 tons per pair.
The ramps of the 55/75/85 series are made only without external edges but can can be provided with edges on request. These types of ramps are often combined with transport vehicles such as vans and trailers for cars and commercial vehicles.
The maximum capacity is 3.6 tons and the standard surface of the ramp equipment allows it to be used with pneumatic wheels and rubber tracks. The surface can be replaced with a specific flat and non-slip surface spe-cific for solid wheels and/or small diameter like trolleys on request.
Series 100/115
Going up in load performance you move on to the 100/115 Series. These ramps are suitable for loading medi-um weight vehicles such as mini excavators, skid steers, construction machine loaders, dumpers equipped with tires or rubber tracks up to a maximum capacity of 4.5 tonnes per pair.
These ramps are made as standard with external containment edges making it easier for the operator to go up and down. The same ramps can be supplied without edges on request.
Series 125
The top of the range is represented by the 125 Series. These ramps are suitable for loading medium weight vehicles (such as midi-excavators, skid steers, high performance loaders) with tires or rubber tracks up to a maximum capacity of 6.4 tonnes per pair.
The 125 Series ramps are produced with both external standard containment edges and without edges. The standard surface of the Definitive CLM Series 125 ramps allows them to be used with pneumatic wheels and rubber tracks. Upon request the surface can be replaced with a special reinforced surface.For loading forklifts and aerial platforms with solid wheels the version without edge and with reinforced sur-face is available.
