Roll-A-Ramp Non-Load Bearing Approach Plates – Modular Ramp Transition System

The Roll-A-Ramp Non-Load Bearing Approach Plates are designed to enhance the flexibility and functionality of your modular ramp system. These plates attach to the end of a ramp section, allowing you to create smooth transitions and separate ramp segments into multiple usable configurations.

Unlike load-bearing plates, these approach plates are intended for positioning and transition—not structural support—making them ideal for modular ramp setups where adaptability and quick reconfiguration are important.

Quick Summary

• Non-load bearing approach plates for Roll-A-Ramp systems
• Attach to ramp ends for smooth entry and exit transitions
• Allow ramp sections to be separated into multiple usable ramps
• Quick-connect design with removable pins
• Ideal for modular, portable, and reconfigurable ramp setups
• Compatible with Roll-A-Ramp modular ramp systems

What Do Non-Load Bearing Approach Plates Do?

These approach plates are designed to create a clean transition between the ramp and the landing surface, while also allowing ramp sections to function independently. They are commonly used when a longer ramp needs to be split into shorter segments or when multiple access points are required.

By adding approach plates to the end of a ramp section, you can convert that section into a standalone ramp without compromising usability. This makes them a valuable accessory for users who need flexibility in setup or transport.

Why Choose Roll-A-Ramp Approach Plates?

• Modular Flexibility: Convert one ramp into multiple usable sections
• Clean Transitions: Helps create smoother entry and exit points
• Quick Reconfiguration: Easily attach or remove with quick-release pins
• Lightweight & Portable: Ideal for temporary or transportable ramp setups
• System Integration: Designed specifically for Roll-A-Ramp compatibility

Important: Non-Load Bearing vs Load-Bearing Plates

Non-load bearing approach plates are designed for transition and modular use only. They are not intended to support the full weight of the ramp system at the landing point.

In contrast, load-bearing approach plates are used when the ramp must rest directly on the landing surface without additional support. 

Tip: If your ramp setup requires weight support at the top landing, you may need a load-bearing plate instead of this model.

Best Use Cases

• Splitting longer ramps into multiple shorter ramps
• Creating multiple access points from one ramp system
• Portable ramp setups for travel or temporary use

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a non-load bearing approach plate?

A non-load bearing approach plate is used to create a smooth transition at the end of a ramp or to allow ramp sections to function independently. It does not support the full weight of the ramp system.

When should I use this instead of a load-bearing plate?

Use this when you need flexibility—such as splitting a ramp into sections or creating portable configurations. If the ramp must rest directly on a landing surface, a load-bearing plate is typically required.

Can I use this to shorten my ramp?

Yes. These plates allow you to separate sections of a Roll-A-Ramp system so you can use shorter ramp lengths as standalone units.

Are these required for every ramp?

No. Standard ramps already include an approach plate. Additional plates are typically used when modifying or expanding a ramp system.

Are these compatible with all ramps?

These plates are designed specifically for Roll-A-Ramp systems. Compatibility with other ramp brands should be confirmed before use.

How are they installed?

They attach to the end of the ramp using quick-release pins, allowing for fast installation and removal without specialized tools.
