ABSTRACT

There is an access ramp system for access between a first and a second object.
The second object is elevated with respect to the first object. The system
includes a supporting frame mountable to the first object; a casing box
mounted to the supporting frame; a sliding ramp installed to slide inside the
casing box; and a deployment mechanism for automatically moving the sliding
ramp between a stand-by and a fully deployed position. In the deployed
position, a nose of the sliding ramp is raised to a height equal with the
second object and is engaged with the second object. In the deployed position,
the sliding ramp and casing box extend across a vertical gap and a horizontal
gap between the first and second objects. An upper surface of the sliding ramp
and casing box defines a support surface for supporting people or objects
moving between the first and second objects.
