About Us

In 1990 my parents Don and Marilyn Medlin started a welding company called Medlin Equipment. My father was a master welder and fabricator and my mother was a farmer from Oklahoma. As the company only started with them two, my father decided to teach my mother how to weld while he would sell their products. She became an amazing welder, as well as running the entire office.

In 1995, I had finished college and my collegiate football career at UTEP. When I returned home, my parents asked me to take over their small company. Like an obedient son, I agreed and started the expansion process of our family company. As we grew slowly, I looked for a product in our industry that would give us sustainability. I found a very small business making large-scale products, known as yard ramps. I bought their company in 2002 and started the path that we are on today. Sadly my parents passed away in 2009 and 2010, but I have continued in their footsteps of hard work and producing quality products with the model that Customer Service is King. As our company has made a vast variety of products for decades, I decided to put the focus into the future of our ramp division. 

We changed our name to Medlin Ramps and my new goal was to become the largest yard ramp manufacturer in the U.S. The Medlin Ramp design had become the top choice ramp for our industry, but we were not able to service nation-wide due to the high shipping cost for cross-country loads with only one location. To combat this problem, I sought out to open a Medlin Ramps manufacturing location on the east coast. In March of 2016 we started our ramp production in North Carolina. Following that opening, I made a goal to start a centralized location in only 3 years.

In past years, corporations have found a direct relocation from California to Texas. Even though I attended college in El Paso, Texas, I decided to seek out Alamogordo as a new area for our manufacturing. New Mexico had been very familiar to me due to many of my family members living there, and with that I was hoping that Alamogordo would be the perfect fit for Medlin Ramps. This choice to open our third manufacturing location here could not have been more perfect. The amazing welcome and overwhelming support we received has been an incredible blessing for our company and our family. In October of 2019, Medlin Ramps became the largest yard ramp manufacturer in the USA. 

Since then, we have opened up our next manufacturing plant in Orlando, Florida. With this expansion in March of 2024, we will be able to respond faster to our customers’ needs as Florida becomes a more popular destination for corporate expansion. As a result of now being equipped with four manufacturing facilities, we have been able to lower the delivered cost per ramp to each of our customers. We are extremely proud of this accomplishment and cannot wait to see the next chapter of growth with our new facility and staff.
