Ro-Ro Ramp SWL, Axle Load & Ramp Gradient Tool
Ro-Ro Ramp SWL, Axle Load & Ramp Gradient Tool
Screen whether a truck, trailer, MAFI, heavy plant or project vehicle can use a ship ramp without exceeding the certified ramp SWL, approved axle/wheel loading or ramp-gradient limits. Simple mode answers the core loading question quickly. Advanced adds impact factors, tyre contact pressure, vehicle geometry, breakover, traction, edge clearance and additional concurrent vehicle groups.
Fast Ramp Loading Screen
Use the vessel’s certified ramp SWL and approved loading limits. Simple mode uses an operational factor of 1.00 and does not attempt local wheel-pressure, traction or breakover checks.
Ramp Geometry & Certified Limits
The vessel’s approved loading manual, class drawings, operating procedures and manufacturer data control. This tool does not derive a structural SWL.
Primary Vehicle & Geometry
Additional Concurrent Vehicle Groups
Optional. Add only other vehicle groups that may be on the ramp at the same time. The primary vehicle group above is already included automatically.
| Vehicle type | GVW t | Length m | Width m | Concurrent | Max axle t | Tyres / axle | Contact m² |
