Product Details
The aluminum truck dock board with steel safety curbs is engineered for portability and safety, featuring a deck made from tough high strength aluminum tread plate with beveled edges for smooth entry and exit. The safety curbs are constructed of steel with cast tapered ends and coated in yellow for visibility, while the zinc-plated locking legs, which are bolted onto the dock board for enhanced durability, ensure compliance with OSHA standards. The board has a capacity of 15,000 lbs and should be selected based on the heaviest equipment used plus the maximum load, while taking into account dynamic loading, driver tendencies, speed, and frequency of use. It is recommended that when using three-wheeled fork trucks, the dock board capacity should be at least four times the lifting capacity of the fork truck. The width of the dock board must be at least fifteen (15) inches wider than the load or equipment passing between the curbs, or an additional fifteen (15) inches should be added to the overall width of the equipment if it does not pass between curbs but is elevated above. The assembled dimensions of the Vestil aluminum dock board with steel curb are 72" W x 48" L x 13-11/16" H, with a depth of 48", and it weighs 191 lbs. Key specifications include a height difference of 7 inches at an 11 degree/19 percent incline, a leg location of 11 inches from the beveled edge, an 11-degree bend, and a bend distance of 8-3/4 inches from the beveled edge, with a curb height of 4-3/4 inches.
