Product Details
This dock board is designed to speed up loading operations, help prevent accidents, and reduce labor costs with an anti-skid diamond tread surface and beveled curbs for maximum safety. The lightweight, high-strength aluminum board features full-length welded aluminum curbs that provide extra rigidity and help prevent operator run-off, serving as a full-length handgrip for ease and safety in handling. A safety stop on the underside fits snugly between the truck and dock to prevent movement under load. The board is supplied with an 11-degree operating angle by default, with an 11" entry lip with a rounded nose to protect tires, and it meets OSHA requirements 1910.30(a). The dock board can be reversed when the truck is lower than dock level. Capacity ratings combine the maximum pallet load and lift truck weight, rated for a single shift operation with equipment speeds up to 3 mph; for multi-shift operations, 3-wheeled forklifts, or trucks using paper roll clamps, an additional 5000 lbs. should be added to the board capacity. The width should be 12" greater than the lift truck or load, with the most popular width being 60" and a usable width 4" less than the overall width. Use with stackers, 3-wheeled forklifts, and other narrow aisle loaders is not recommended, and refrigerated trucks require special dock boards.
