Mobile yard ramps are used for the unloading of rear loading trucks and standard ISO containers, without the need for a permanent docking bay. Dun-slope Using a mobile yard ramp with a single forklift truck is far more efficient and less time consuming than using a pallet truck. When unloading always use the chocks to prevent the yard ramp moving, even if the ground appears level. Dun-slope Never use the mobile yard ramp on a slope. The ground beneath the mobile yard ramp must be solid, ideally concrete or tarmac. Do not use on grass even if the ground seems firm. Dun-slope Drive at a safe speed when towing the mobile yard ramp to a new location. Damage can be done to the legs if driven over bumps and potholes at excessive speed. Regular checks should always be made of the legs, wheels, Dun-slope lip plate and deck surface. Any damage must be immediately repaired before further use. Common sense is the best advice for using a mobile yard ramp. If the yard ramp is old or damaged it is better to be replaced than risk continuing to use it. Dun-slope Renting mobile yard ramps is becoming a popular practice as regular maintenance is often included in the rental rates. Chase Equipment can provide more advice about renting mobile yard ramps.

Here are some tips to improve the representation of your seller clients. It is crucial to take notes while you inspect the property that you will represent. Make sure the sellers understand what will convey with the property under the sales contract. Ask about porch swings, fountains, play structures, mirrors, speakers, pot racks, etc. Understand the property lines, and find out about adjoining properties. Check the ownership of any nearby land that the sellers believe is a greenbelt. A thorough inspection and understanding of the property is fundamental to good representation. Sometimes the sellers have copies of inspection reports or previous sellers’ disclosures. These documents are a part of their knowledge of the property, and should be a part of their disclosure. If the property has been rented, the seller may have a log of repairs that have been done. In addition to these types of repairs, all major construction should be noted. By disclosing these items, the sellers give the buyers an opportunity to investigate them further during the inspection period if they wish. For example, the sellers mentioned that a beautiful tree is diseased, and will die in a few years. Our obligation, as their agent, is to recommend the safest position for the sellers, and that position is to disclose the defect. Ask the sellers to think about what they would want to know if they were the buyer. Inspections are a protection measure for both the seller and buyer. Although inspections are normally obtained and paid for by the buyer, the inspection protects the seller as well as the buyer. During visits to the house, avoid attempting to assess problems for the seller. (Those cracks are not from settling. All homes in this area have some slope in the floors.) All questions of this nature should be referred to an inspector, engineer, or construction specialist. You are not the interpreter of maladies. Home inspection is a difficult job to do perfectly, even for trained professionals. I often recommend that the seller and buyer have a service contract included in the contract. These policies provide a one year repair service for the buyer. They can often reduce the potential that a future repair issue will cause them frustration and anger toward the seller. In the event of a problem later, they might feel that you advised them not to disclose the item. A common response by sellers to a lawsuit by the buyers is – My agent told me not to disclose this.
