Product Details
The BLUFF® aluminum dock board with steel curbs measures 72 x 60 inches and has a 10,000 lb. capacity. It features an anti-skid diamond tread surface and high-visibility beveled steel curbs that provide maximum safety and excellent impact resistance. The resilient aluminum alloy board offers a positive traction surface, while bolted-on steel curbs provide a full-length handgrip for ease and safety in handling. The safety stop on the underside fits snugly between the truck and dock to prevent board movement under load. The dock board is supplied with an 11-degree angle of operation unless otherwise specified and includes an 11-inch entry lip with a rounded nose to protect tires. It meets OSHA requirements 1910.30(a) and can be reversed when the truck is lower than dock level. The capacity rating is based on the combined weight of the maximum pallet load and lift truck for a single shift at equipment speeds of up to 3 mph; for multi-shift operations, 3-wheeled forklifts, or trucks using paper roll clamps, 5000 lbs. should be added to the capacity. The board width should be at least 12 inches greater than the lift truck or load, with a popular width of 60 inches; usable width is 4 inches less than overall width. The dock board is not suitable for stackers, 3-wheeled forklifts, or narrow aisle loaders, and refrigerated trucks require special dock boards. Warranty information is provided with the product.
