Product Details
The Bluff® aluminum dock board with steel curbs measures 72 x 60 inches and has a 15,000 lb. capacity, designed to speed up loading operations, help prevent accidents, and reduce labor costs. It features an anti-skid diamond tread surface and high-visibility beveled steel curbs for maximum safety. The dock board combines the strength of steel with the lightweight aluminum alloy construction, providing a positive traction surface. Bolted-on steel curbs offer excellent impact resistance to help prevent run-off and serve as a full-length handgrip for ease and safety in handling. A safety stop on the underside of the board fits snugly between the truck and dock to prevent movement under load. The board comes with an 11-degree angle unless another angle is specified, and an 11-inch entry lip with a rounded nose to protect tires. It meets OSHA requirements 1910.30(a) and can be reversed when a truck is lower than dock level. Capacity refers to the combined weight of the maximum pallet load and lift truck, rated for a single shift with equipment speeds up to 3 mph; for multi-shift operations, 3-wheeled forklifts, or trucks using paper roll clamps, add 5,000 lbs. to the capacity. The width should be 12 inches greater than the lift truck or load, with 60 inches being a popular width and usable width 4 inches less than the overall width. Stackers, 3-wheeled forklifts, and other narrow aisle loaders should not be used on this dock board. Refrigerated trucks require special dock boards.
