Product Details
Bluff® Steel Red Pin Heavy Duty Dock Board features dual positioning pins on each side for enhanced flexibility and safety, making it ideal for challenging angled parking situations known as park-out, as well as accommodating refrigerated trailers and overseas containers. The dock board includes full-length side pockets and four 1" diameter high-strength locking pins on 2" centers to provide increased adjustability and safety, while allowing trucks below dock level to utilize the board without needing to turn it around. It is equipped with fold-down 11"W x 4"H lifting loops positioned on 27" centers for easy forklift transport and positioning, and contoured curbs that prevent runoffs and forklift tire damage. Constructed from all-welded steel for durability in high-traffic and multiple-shift dock environments, the board incorporates one 7° bend 17" from the dock end and one 9° bend 8" from the truck end. It complies with OSHA spec. 1910.30(a) and ANSI spec. MH30.2. The capacity of the dock board is determined by the combined weight of the maximum pallet load and lift truck, rated for equipment speeds up to 3 MPH, with the stipulation that stackers and other narrow aisle loaders should not be used on the dock board. The width should exceed the lift truck or load by 12", with usable width being 6" less than overall width. The height difference above the dock is specified as HT" difference up, with a 14% grade applicable to pallet trucks and electric forklifts, and a 19% grade for gas-powered forklifts. The application height supports up to 12" above dock or 5" below dock with propane or gas forklifts, and up to 9" above dock or 5" below dock with electric forklifts or pallet jacks.
