Abstract
The safety of the ramp structure was performed on a model of a truck loading ramp. A safety analysis of a truck loading ramp was performed from the aspect of structural verification and improvement possibilities. Attention was paid to the strength control of the loaded joints of the lifting mechanism, in accordance with the safety requirements of European regulations. The control of complex stresses was performed using FEM analysis. As a contribution to the development of the rear ramp, a nominal load capacity of the ramp on a larger platform surface was proposed.
