Livestock Ramp – Safe and Efficient Marine Loading Systems
At Veta Gemi A.Ş., we design and manufacture custom-engineered Livestock Ramps specifically for livestock carrier vessels and animal transport ships.
Combining our expertise in marine equipment fabrication with a deep understanding of animal welfare standards, our ship equipment solutions are engineered to ensure safe, smooth, and stress-free loading and unloading operations for all types of livestock.
Our ramps are built in compliance with IMO, SOLAS, and OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) guidelines, ensuring both operational efficiency and humane handling practices.
Marine-Grade Livestock Ramps
Livestock Ramps play a crucial role in the safety and efficiency of livestock transportation at sea.
Each ramp is designed to provide secure footing, gentle slope transitions, and durable protection rails to prevent injuries or animal distress during transfer.
Manufactured from high-strength steel or aluminum, our ramps are corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and adaptable to various deck configurations. Whether operated manually or hydraulically, they ensure smooth, safe movement for animals and crew alike.
Key Features and Technical Advantages
-
Non-slip flooring: Anti-skid, ribbed, or checkered plates prevent slipping during loading and unloading.
-
Hydraulic or manual operation: Smooth, controlled motion with adjustable inclination for different quay or vessel heights.
-
Side protection panels: Heavy-duty safety barriers prevent animals from falling or colliding.
-
Marine-grade materials: Hot-dip galvanized or stainless-steel construction ensures long-term corrosion resistance.
-
Hygienic design: Easy-to-clean surfaces minimize bacterial growth and meet hygiene regulations.
-
Custom dimensions: Tailored width, length, and height according to vessel layout and livestock size.
All ramps are fully welded, pressure tested, and supplied with load test certificates before delivery.
Applications
Our Livestock Ramps are widely used on:
Livestock transport vessels.
Multipurpose carriers with animal cargo operations.
Port loading terminals and shore facilities.
Floating barges and offshore platforms handling live animal transfer.
Each ramp can be customized for cattle, sheep, goats, camels, or horses, ensuring species-appropriate slope angles and safety features.
Design and Safety Compliance
At Veta Gemi, safety and welfare are our top priorities.
Our design and manufacturing process complies with:
SOLAS Chapter II-1 – Construction Regulation
IMO MSC/Circ.1135 – Guidelines for Safe Transport of Livestock by Sea
OIE Terrestrial Code – Animal Welfare Regulations
EN ISO 14122 – Safety of Access Equipment
Every ramp is subjected to detailed load simulations, structural stress analysis, and full-scale testing at our Yalova shipyard, ensuring exceptional reliability and safety under all operating conditions.
Customization Options
Because each vessel and port configuration differs, Veta Gemi offers custom-built marine loading ramps with a range of additional options:
Hydraulic piston or electric actuator system.
Adjustable telescopic height and angle control.
Foldable or retractable platform designs.
Integrated lighting and anti-slip coating.
Rubberized animal-friendly flooring.
Seawater drainage and washdown systems.
Our engineering team works directly with shipowners and classification societies to deliver ramps that meet exact technical and regulatory requirements.
