The present invention is a ramp having a front end that can be positioned up to the open end of a shipping container. The ramp has a back end adapted to receive the forks of a forklift for lifting and transport. Generally, the ramp is made up of an upwardly inclined support structure having an upper surface and a lower surface. A load-bearing plate having an outer surface, an inner surface, a front edge and a back edge is attached by its inner surface to the support structure's upper surface. The load-bearing plate includes at least one slot with a forward edge spaced above the support structure lower surface. At least one fork capture plate is attached to the support structure. The at least one fork capture plate has a bottom surface that is substantially in a plane with the lower surface of the support structure when the ramp is positioned horizontally.
