Heavy-duty ramps are produced in standard lengths, 35ft and 42ft 6in.. each available with 5ft increments, and each model can be suppled with a painted or galvanized finish. Prices range from £49 to £622.
The company will also build ramps to special order.
Inquiries should be addressed to Mr. W. J. Caulfield, manager of the Joseph Westwood sheet metal and light fabrication department.
