Question: A loader operator is loading a tracked skid-steer loader onto a flatbed trailer. The trailer deck is 2.4 metres wide. What is the minimum recommended width for the loading ramps to ensure safe loading?

Answer options:

  • 1.2 metres (4 feet) per ramp.
  • 0.6 metres (2 feet) per ramp. ✅ 0.9 metres (3 feet) per ramp.
  • 1.8 metres (6 feet) per ramp.

Correct answer: 0.9 metres (3 feet) per ramp.

Explanation: A general guideline for safe loading ramp width for tracked equipment is that each ramp should be at least 0.9 metres (3 feet) wide to provide stable support and prevent the tracks from potentially slipping off the sides.
