Abstract
A ramp for loading containers on or loading containers from an elevated surface provides a collection space for containing spillage on the ramp. The ramp is wedge-shaped and has an upper inclined load carrying wall and a bottom wall joining the load carrying wall at one end thereof. Sidewalls and an end wall join the load carrying and bottom walls to define an internal containment chamber. At least one drain opening is provided in the load carrying wall for collecting and for directing any spillage on an upper surface of the load carrying wall to the internal containment chamber.
