Jetland’s wide range of loading ramps is broadening its appeal in numerous sectors using heavy machinery, with agriculture being one important market
The value of Jetland Loading Ramps’ products can be seen through the variety of industries to which they appeal.
Farmers are undoubtedly a core market for the Melbourne-based company, which also offers free delivery to a network of depots and commercial businesses with loading facilities around the country, but that just tells part of the story.
Part of the appeal lies in the depth of stock which Jetland can offer, with its ramps specifically designed to be suited to everything from wheelchairs through to 42-tonne machinery.
This allows customers to browse the Jetland range with confidence there will be a ramp available in the configuration and weight requirement needed.
Jetland’s website is continually updated to reflect stock that is available and ready for delivery, allowing customers to order with the knowledge they can quickly receive their ramp.
For customers able to visit Jetland’s warehouse in the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Mordialloc, there is also the option of collecting directly – meaning customers can be using their new ramp on the same day they begin a search.
If all of this is still not enough for the perfect ramp to be found, Jetland also offers extensive customisation options.
This allows customers to tailor ramps to their specific needs, knowing Jetland can create bespoke pieces with varying lengths, widths or load capacities.
As a result, Jetland has developed a wide customer base that reflects the variety of its product offering.
Highlighting just a few customers gives an insight into the broad demographic of Australians benefiting from a Jetland ramp.
One customer owns both an earthmoving business and an eight hectare property, purchasing a 3.5m long Jetland ramp with a six-tonne rated capacity to handle everything from transporting an 80hp tractor through to excavators and a small truck.
Another customer is a second-generation plumbing business in Melbourne, with its fleet consisting of trucks, skid steers and excavators.
Located near Jetland’s warehouse, this customer was able to pick up their new ramps directly.
Another major benefit for this customer was finding a 3.9m long ramp, with the extra 30cm over the more common 3.6m size making the loading and unloading experience more comfortable.
The earthmoving sector forms a big portion of Jetland’s clientele, with the wide size range offered providing versatility for all operators, regardless of size.
To highlight just one civil and earthworks business, which is also based in Melbourne, a 5.5 tonne excavator and compact track loader have seen plenty of time on the Jetland ramps.
This company has now bought from Jetland on three separate occasions, with all sets being in the six-tonne rated range and at various lengths.
Despite being worked hard, the ramps have had “absolutely no issues,” thanks to their quality, with continual refinement by Jetland meaning the most recent set weighs 20kg less than the customer’s previous pair – but with absolutely no compromise on strength.
The strength of Jetland’s ramps is a common theme reported by all customers, who have been able to push the ramps right up to the rated load capacity on a regular basis without any problems.
High-quality materials are used throughout, ensuring the ramps’ durability but also remaining lightweight and able to be set up and moved comfortably.
Safety is also at the forefront of Jetland’s design, with all products either meeting or exceeding Australian loading ramp safety standards.
Anti-slip surfaces help to ensure maximum traction while loading or unloading machinery, and all ramps feature locking pins to ensure they do not move.
Jetland also offers four series of ramps, with the load capacity being one major difference between them.
Jetland’s A Series suits rubber track machines, the B and C Series both suit rubber track and tyre machines, while the D Series suits steel track and rubber pads on steel, plus both rubber track and tyre.
This knowledge also helps customers ensure they are getting the correct style of ramp for their needs, ultimately increasing both safety and efficiency.
All Jetland ramps are backed up by a 12-month warranty for additional peace of mind.
