Product Details
The aluminum truck dock board with steel safety curbs is designed for portability and safety, featuring a deck made of tough high-strength aluminum tread plate with beveled edges for smooth entry and exit. Safety curbs, constructed of steel with cast tapered ends and coated yellow for visibility, ensure added safety while bolted steel legs enhance durability. The dock board is manufactured in compliance with OSHA regulations and has a capacity of 20,000 lb, which is determined based on the heaviest type of equipment used plus the maximum load carried times the single axle rating of the total load. Dynamic loading, driver tendencies, speed, and frequency of use must all be considered, and it is recommended that when using three-wheeled fork trucks, the dock board should have a capacity at least four times the lifting capacity of the fork truck. The width of the dock board should be at least fifteen (15) inches wider than the load or equipment passing between the curbs, and if the load does not pass between curbs but is elevated above, an additional fifteen (15) inches should be added to the overall width of the equipment. The assembled dimensions are 72"W x 48"L x 13-11/16"H, with a depth of 48", and it weighs 191 lbs. The height difference at 11 degrees/19 percent is 7 inches, the location of legs from the beveled edge is 11 inches, the bend degree is 11 with a bend distance from the beveled edge of 8-3/4 inches, and the curb height is 4-3/4 inches.
