Natural Disasters: Yard Ramp to the Rescue

Increasing Number of Natural Disasters Over the Years

Over the last several years, the world in general has been beset by a series of catastrophic natural disasters. Notables include the Haiti earthquake (2010), Hurricane Katrina (2005), Joplin tornado (2011), California wildfires (2007), and winter storm Nemo (2013). With these disasters, the world has had to recover their belongings and memories and rebuild their lives.

After the Storm: How to Rebuild?

After a natural disaster, notably Joplin MO, emergency personnel must analyze the situation and how to help those affected rebuild their homes, businesses and their lives. Massive amounts of building supplies were needed quickly, but the devastation reached other places like Big Box home improvement centers. The new problem thousands faced was unloading the building materials when they arrived on the scene to unload and get them to the people who needed them.

Portable Yard Ramp to the Rescue

One of the Big Box stores reached out to Handi-Ramp for a solution, and within hours of the phone call, a portable yard ramp was on its way to Joplin, MO. Once on scene it was immediately put to use unloading trailer load after trailer load of vital building supplies to those who needed them the most.

Rent-able Yard Ramp

This portable yard ramp solution was utilized for a number of months during the rebuilding process. Eventually, the stores were rebuilt and the ramp was no longer needed. The Handi-Ramp management team coordinated a pick up and sent it to another location within the US. This short term yard ramp rental provided a solution for exactly where and when it was needed.
