New Indiana Warehouse Means Lower Freight Costs on Yard Ramps for Customers Nationwide

Published June 18, 2026 | 48 States Equipment

48 States Equipment is expanding with a new stocking warehouse in Borden, Indiana, putting our most popular portable yard ramps closer to customers across the Midwest, Southeast, and Eastern United States. The result: lower freight costs, faster delivery times, and improved availability on our core yard ramp lineup — the DX22, GT26, and LQ32.

Why We're Opening a Second Location in Borden, IN

For years, 48 States Equipment has shipped portable yard ramps to loading docks, warehouses, and distribution centers in all 48 contiguous states from our home base in Elk River, Minnesota. As demand grew along the East Coast, Southeast, and Ohio Valley, freight costs and transit times for customers in those regions climbed right along with it.

Our new warehouse at Borden Business Park, 555 E Water St, Borden, IN solves that problem directly. Located minutes from Louisville, Kentucky and within a day's drive of most major Eastern and Midwestern markets, this location lets us stock inventory of our most-ordered yard ramp models and ship them at a fraction of the freight cost and lead time compared to shipping from Minnesota or direct from the factory.

What This Means for You

• Lower freight costs — shorter shipping distances to the Midwest, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast translate directly into reduced delivery costs on your yard ramp order.
• Faster lead times — stocked inventory in Indiana means less time waiting on cross-country or cross-border freight.
• Better availability — our core models are on the ground and ready to ship, not just available to order.
• Same trusted equipment — every ramp shipped from Borden is the same Industrias America-built construction our customers already rely on.

Yard Ramps Now Stocked in Borden, Indiana

The Borden warehouse will carry our three core portable yard ramp models, built to handle the demands of busy loading docks, warehouses, and distribution facilities:

DX22 Yard Ramp

Our most popular entry-level portable yard ramp, the DX22 is built for facilities that need a dependable, easy-to-position ramp solution for forklift and pallet jack loading without the cost of a permanent dock.

GT26 Yard Ramp

The GT26 steps up in capacity and width, designed for higher-volume operations that need a heavier-duty yard ramp without sacrificing portability between dock positions or yard locations.

LQ32 Yard Ramp

Our largest core model, the LQ32 is built for the heaviest loads and widest equipment, giving high-throughput distribution centers and manufacturing facilities a portable ramp rated for serious daily use.

Who This Warehouse Serves

The Borden, Indiana location is built to serve businesses searching for a yard ramp dealer near Louisville, as well as companies across Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and the broader Midwest and Southeast who need fast access to portable yard ramps without the cross-country freight bill. Whether you're outfitting a new distribution center, replacing aging dock equipment, or adding flexible loading capacity to a growing warehouse, our Indiana inventory is ready to ship.
