Standard Dockboards

Used to bridge the gap and height variation between vehicle and loading bay when loading/unloading. Dockboards are typically used with fork lift trucks.
To select correct board:
1. Calculate height differential between vehicle floor level and dock level.
2. In accordance with BS EN 1398:2009 the minimum width should be 700mm wider than the track width of the equipment being used, unless restricted by your loading facilities and measures are taken to prevent operator and equipment from falling.
3. Determine max total load. If not covered by boards listed, refer to Standard Dockplates.
4. Generally boards are for fork truck use (dockplates are for sack or pallet trucks).

• Dockboards are manufactured from high tensile aluminium with red painted, steel safety curbs.
  
• If required dockboards can be manufactured with shortened locking legs to load containers at ground level, thus preventing the board moving forward. Backward movement is prevented by chains and hooks at either side of the ramp which locate in the container locking points.
  
• Special sizes and models can be made to fit your requirements.
