60" Width Steel Dockboard w/ Full Width Lock Leg-20,000lb Capacity. Dockboards are devices that bridge the gap between the truck and the dock, allowing for the safe loading of trucks.Dockboards

Dockboards are devices that bridge the gap between the truck and the dock, allowing for the safe loading of trucks. Some dockboards are used in rail stations to load and unload rail cars. Dockboards of all kinds are not to be confused with dock plates. This is a common error, but one that must be avoided when determining the best purchase for a loading dock. Dock plates are rectangles of steel or aluminum that that have a locking leg to hold them in place and handles to carry them with. They are intended only for hand trucks and pallet jacks- NOT for vehicles. Dockboards are designed for roadway vehicles to drive over. They are shaped like plates but are made with additional structural components that enable them to support more weight. They have curbs on the side to prevent vehicle roll offs, and models built for rail cars are sometimes built with curbs on the underside of the plate surface.

Dockboards can support weight capacities ranging from 6,000 to 40,000 lbs. They are made from either aluminum or heavy duty steel. Steel models are generally preferred in industrial environments for a number of reasons. Steel can carry more weight and is much more durable and resilient. Aluminum dockboards are softer and have to be reinforced with steel curbs to handle mid-range weights of 10,000 to 15,000 pounds.

Aluminum can be effective in certain environments where only one person is available to setup the dockboard, and where there is only a minimal or mid-range weight stress involved. Otherwise, Easy Rack recommends investing in a steel model for maximum durability and safety.
