Shed Access FAQ
The main difference is weight capacity and overall heavy-duty performance. Our TRAVERSE™ HD Portable Storage Ramp is designed for more demanding applications and can handle significantly heavier equipment thanks to its higher rated load and reinforced design. Both ramps share similar core features, like lightweight, weather-resistant aluminum construction, a two-piece portable design, and slip-resistant surfaces, but the HD version adds extra strength, a more robust tread, and features like an extended top lip for improved stability.
We recommend choosing a TRAVERSE™ Curb Plate when you only need to overcome a small vertical rise, such as a low threshold, curb, or single step, rather than bridging a larger height. Our curb plate is designed for rises up to about 5-3/4 inches and is a compact, single-piece solution that can be set in place instantly with no setup required. If your shed threshold is higher or requires a gradual incline for wheeled equipment, a portable storage ramp is the better option.
Yes. We design TRAVERSE™ portable storage ramps specifically to make it easier to move equipment like lawn mowers, garden carts, and other gear in and out of sheds and storage buildings. Their durable aluminum construction, slip-resistant surfaces, and wide, curb-free designs help accommodate different tire sizes and provide safe, stable access for a variety of equipment.
Our TRAVERSE™ shed-access ramps are designed for flexibility. They can be used as portable solutions that you can easily set up, remove, and store when not in use. At the same time, they can also be secured for long-term applications using predrilled anchoring holes if needed.
To choose the right ramp, you’ll need to consider the height of your shed threshold, also known as the rise, and select a ramp length that provides a safe, gradual incline. You can use our Incline Calculator to help determine the appropriate ramp length based on your specific height and application. We also recommend checking your equipment’s user manual or guidelines for slope recommendations to ensure safe and proper use.
Yes. We build our TRAVERSE™ shed-access ramps from durable, lightweight aluminum that is weather-resistant and designed to perform outdoors. They also feature slip-resistant surfaces to help maintain traction in various weather conditions, making them suitable for year-round outdoor use.
