Dock Board 1525 x 1525mm – Aluminium
Dock Boards serve a similar purpose to dock plates but are designed to cope with heavier machinery like forklifts. They consist of a plate deck with steel curbs on both sides to prevent run-offs and provide additional strength and stability. Dock boards can be quite heavy and therefore, include carry chains so they can be transported by the forklift. Alternative dock plates and boards in a range of sizes and load ratings are available on request.
Dock Plate 1220 x 1220mm – Aluminium
A common problem on loading docks is bridging the gap between a truck and the dock or warehouse floor. Not all trucks are the same height, and the height of the trailer floor within a truck can vary according to how heavily the truck is laden. Thus, there is not only a gap to bridge, but a height difference to overcome. Dock plates are used for lighter loads such as hand trolleys, pallet jacks or foot traffic.
