Product Details
The Bluff® steel dock board with steel curbs enhances loading operations while promoting safety and efficiency. This heavy-duty all-welded steel board features an anti-skid diamond tread surface and high-visibility beveled curbs, designed for frequent motorized traffic to ensure maximum impact resistance and strength. It includes built-in lifting loops and a full-length handgrip for ease of handling, while a safety stop on the underside fits snugly between the truck and dock to prevent movement under load. The board comes with an 11° angle as standard, and the 11" entry lip with a rounded nose is designed to protect tires. The dock board meets OSHA requirements 1910.30(a) and is rated for a capacity that combines the maximum pallet load and lift truck weight, with special considerations for multi-shift operations and specific equipment types. The application height accommodates up to 7" above the dock with propane or gas forklifts and up to 5" above the dock with electric forklifts or pallet jacks. The width should be 12" greater than the lift truck or load, with a usable width that is 4" less than the overall width, and the most popular width being 60". Note that stackers, 3-wheeled forklifts, and other narrow aisle loaders should not be used on a dock board, and refrigerated trucks require special dock boards for safe operation.
