Product Details
The Bluff® steel dock board with steel curbs measures 60 x 60 inches and has a 10,000 lb. capacity, designed to expedite loading operations while enhancing safety and reducing labor costs. It features an anti-skid diamond tread surface and high-visibility beveled steel curbs for maximum safety. Constructed from heavy-duty, all-welded steel, it is suitable for frequent motorized traffic, offering maximum impact resistance, strength, and safety. The package includes lifting chains, and the curb provides 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 standard angle of operation is 11°, unless another angle is specified. The 11-inch entry lip has a rounded nose to protect tires, and the board meets OSHA requirements 1910.30(a). The dock board can be reversed when the truck is lower than dock level. Capacity ratings indicate 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, an additional 5,000 lbs. should be added to the capacity. The width should be 12 inches greater than that of the lift truck or load, with the most popular width being 60 inches and a usable width 4 inches less than the overall width. Stackers, 3-wheeled forklifts, and narrow aisle loaders are not recommended for use on this dock board. Refrigerated trucks require special dock boards and should be addressed separately.
