If you are someone who frequently moves heavy equipment or materials around, then you understand just how difficult, inconvenient, time consuming, and sometimes painful it is to have to lift those things into the back of a truck, into a storage container, onto a porch, etc. To avoid injuring yourself, make your job easier, and implement time-saving efficiencies to your tasks, consider adding a walk ramp to your arsenal of tools. A walk ramp can be used in conjunction with a hand truck, service carts, etc. to move things into and out of a house, such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves, and even furniture.
