Dock Loading Plate Specifications
For greater height difference and/or length beyond 48", or
bridging spans of 18" and over, it is suggested that dock boards with sided
curbs be used.
Selecting the proper dock plate
1.) Determine the height difference between truck and dock
(round up to the nearest inch)
2.) Establish the proper plate width - should be no less than
12" wider than the widest load or equipment being moved.
3.) Determine the capacity
Using a hand truck:
Capacity = maximum load weight + equipment weight +operator weight
Using four-wheel
equipment or pallet truck:
Capacity = (maximum load weight + equipment weight) X .75
(Round capacities to nearest 50 or 100 lbs)
Use the chart below to find the dock plate to fit your needs. Then click
on the model number of the dock plate for more information
