Product Details
The Bluff® steel dock board with steel curbs is designed to enhance loading operations, improve safety, and reduce labor costs. It features an anti-skid diamond tread surface and high-visibility beveled curbs, ensuring maximum safety during use. Constructed from heavy-duty all-welded steel, this dock board is suitable for frequent motorized traffic, providing maximum impact resistance and strength. It includes built-in lifting loops and a curb with a full-length handgrip for ease and safety in handling. A safety stop on the underside secures the board snugly between the truck and dock, preventing movement under load. The dock board comes with an 11° angle by default, with an 11" entry lip and rounded nose to protect tires. It meets OSHA requirements 1910.30(a). The capacity is based on the combined weight of the maximum pallet load and lift truck, rated for a single shift with equipment speeds of 3 mph maximum. For multi-shift operations using 3-wheeled forklifts or trucks with 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 a popular width of 60". The usable width is 4" less than the overall width. Note that stackers, 3-wheeled forklifts, and other narrow aisle loaders should not be used on the dock board, and special dock boards are necessary for refrigerated trucks. The application height is optimized for up to 9" above the dock with propane or gas forklifts and up to 7" above with electric forklifts or pallet jacks.
