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. The safety curbs, constructed of steel with cast tapered ends and coated yellow, enhance visibility and safety, while the bolted steel legs provide increased durability. The canted locking legs ensure easier truck portability, and the product is manufactured in compliance with OSHA standards. The capacity is determined by the heaviest type of equipment used plus the maximum load carried, taking into account the single axle rating of total load, dynamic loading, driver tendencies, speed, and frequency of use. For three-wheeled fork trucks, it is advised to order a dock board with a capacity at least four times the lifting capacity of the fork truck. The dock board should be at least fifteen (15) inches wider than the load or equipment passing between the curbs, with an additional fifteen (15) inches added if the load is elevated above the curbs. The assembled dimensions are 60" W x 48" L x 13-3/4" H, with an assembled depth of 48" and a weight of 186 lbs. The height difference at an 11-degree/19 percent incline is 7 inches, with the legs located 11 inches from the beveled edge, an 11-degree bend, and a bend distance of 8-3/4 inches from the beveled edge. The curb height measures 4-3/4 inches.
