Product Details
The Bluff® steel dock board with steel curbs measures 60 x 48 inches and has a 10,000 lb. capacity. It features an anti-skid diamond tread surface and high-visibility beveled curbs for maximum safety, constructed from heavy-duty all-welded steel suitable for frequent motorized traffic, providing maximum impact resistance, strength, and safety. The board includes lifting chains and a full-length handgrip on the curb 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° angle unless another angle of operation is specified, and it has an 11-inch entry lip with a rounded nose to protect tires. It meets OSHA requirements 1910.30(a) and can be reversed for use when the truck is lower than the dock level. Capacity is based on the combined weight of the maximum pallet load and lift truck and is rated for a single shift with equipment speeds of up to 3 mph; for multi-shift operations, 3-wheeled forklifts, or trucks using paper roll clamps, 5,000 lbs. should be added to the board capacity. The width should be 12 inches greater than the lift truck or load, with the most popular width being 60 inches; usable width is 4 inches less than the overall width. Stacker, 3-wheeled forklifts, and other narrow aisle loaders should not be used on this dock board. Refrigerated trucks require special dock boards.
