A ramp, for instance a walk ramp for pets, such as dogs, includes an elongated walk bridge (1) which is intended to be placed so as to slope between two height levels. The bridge includes two parts (10, 11) which are mutually sequential in the longitudinal direction of the bridge and which are mutually connected via a hinge means (18) which in one swinging direction has an end position in which the walk surfaces of said parts (10, 11) are essentially parallel and in a common plane, and which in its other swinging direction enable the parts (10, 11) to be folded to essential parallelity. When the bridge is extended or unfolded, a join gap between the parts (10, 11) on the upper load-carrying side of the bridge will be covered by a cover plate (4), which has an edge part that is fastened to one bridge part (10) and extends generally transversely over the width of the bridge (1). The opposite edge part of the cover plate (4) is free in the folded state of the bridge and projects out beyond the ends of said bridge parts (10, 11). The free edge part of the cover plate has an opening (41) which, when the bridge is extended or unfolded, is spaced from the join (17, 17) between parts such as to form a bridge carrying handle (42).

A dock leveler with a vertically adjustable deck and horizontally translating lip includes a weather shield that helps shelter a pit area underneath the lip and the deck. The dock leveler and shield system is particularly suited for serving trucks that include a rear liftgate. An upper edge of the weather shield seals against and moves with the lip of the dock leveler, and a lower edge of the shield can be attached to a lower dividing panel. The lower dividing panel (sometimes known as an ISO panel) isolates the deck of the dock leveler from a liftgate-receiving receptacle within the pit area. The weather shield accommodates the lip's horizontal movement and the deck's vertical movement. The shield is such that it further accommodates a vertically moving door panel that can close in front of both the deck and the lip.
