Morgantown, Pennsylvania USA — Morgan Truck Body, LLC, North America\u2019s largest manufacturer of light- and medium-duty truck bodies, announces the launch of a larger version of its highly successful Proscape Van door\/ramp.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The door\/ramp combines the functionality of a rear door with the added benefit of a secondary, articulated section that essentially creates a long, wide walkramp. Designed for Morgan truck bodies that are 102\u201d wide by either 103\u201d or 109\u201d inches high, the ramp boasts a length of just over 13 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough the idea to create this larger version was initially targeted towards the Moving & Storage industry, it\u2019s quite clear that anyone who wants to be able to get in and out of the rear of their truck easier will benefit. Most walkramps are no more than 36 inches wide making them awkward for two delivery people to carry large items up and down. With a usable ramp width of 84 inches, carrying items can now be done side-to-side, and four people can carry large items at the same time. This should certainly improve efficiency and ease of handling. And if each worker is carrying one item each, one can be walking down while another can be walking up the ramp. \u201cThis should save the team quite a bit of time\u201d says Paul Jarossy, Morgan\u2019s Director of Marketing & Business Development.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cHaving the ability to open, close, and lock the door\/ramp in 15 \u2013 20 seconds by one person versus two people taking several minutes to carry a heavy, removable ramp to a storage container on the side of the truck is another great benefit\u201d adds Jarossy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
