RAMP COUPLING ADAPTER AND RAMP FOR A PORTABLE DOCK LIFT
A ramp and coupling adapter for a portable dock lift includes a ramp and a separate coupling adapter that interfaces between the ramp and the dock lift into a use position.
1 . A ramp and coupling adapter for a portable dock lift comprising:
a ramp and
a separate coupling adapter that interfaces between the ramp and the dock lift into a use position.
2 . A ramp and coupling adapter according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter comprises a transverse channel and a pair of extending tubular member extending therefrom for interfacing with complementary structure on the portable dock lift.
3 . A ramp and coupling adapter according to claim 2 further comprising a locking pin for locking the coupling adapter to the portable lift dock.
4 . A ramp and coupling adapter according to claim 3 wherein the ramp has a complementary cut out portion for accepting the transverse channel of the coupling adapter to link the coupling adapter to the ramp.
5 . A ramp and coupling adapter according to claim 4 wherein the ramp includes transversely extending channels and/or tubular members for accepting the tines of a fork lift.
6 . A portable dock comprising:
a raisable deck;
a separate ramp; and
a separate coupling adapter that interfaces between the ramp and the dock lift into a use position.
7 . A portable dock according to claim 6 wherein the adapter comprises a transverse channel and a pair of extending tubular member extending therefrom for interfacing with complementary structure on the portable dock lift.
8 . A portable dock according to claim 7 further comprising a locking pin for locking the coupling adapter to the portable lift dock.
9 . A portable dock according to claim 8 wherein the ramp has a complementary cut out portion for accepting the transverse channel of the coupling adapter to link the coupling adapter to the ramp.
10 . A portable dock according to claim 9 wherein the ramp includes transversely extending channels and/or tubular members for accepting the tines of a fork lift.
