Lightweight Portable Dock Plates
Lighter than steel, these aluminum dock plates have two handles for quick manual positioning to bridge the gap between a truck and the dock. Use them when loading and unloading with hand trucks, pallet trucks, and other walk-on/walk-off equipment. Plates have a diamond surface texture to provide positive traction.

Portable Dock Plates
These plates allow forklift access so you can move them easily to bridge the gap between a truck and the dock. Use them when loading and unloading with forklifts, battery-operated hand trucks, and other powered equipment. Plates have a diamond surface texture for positive traction and lips on the sides lessen the chance of vehicle runoff.

Dock Levelers
Permanently attach these levelers to a dock to bridge the gap between the edge of the dock and a truck. Use them when loading and unloading with forklifts, pallet trucks, and hand trucks. Each leveler has a deck plate, a hinged lip plate, and two bumpers that are attached to bumper blocks. Dual extension springs act as a counterbalance to aid the leveler as it mechanically lifts the lip plate onto the truck bed; the springs return the lip plate to its original position when the truck pulls away. The plates have a diamond surface texture for positive traction.
To install, weld levelers to a dock face with a minimum 8" wide steel channel embedded into concrete at the dock edge. If the dock edge does not have an 8" wide steel channel, use the optional installation kit (sold separately) for bolt-on mounting.
Style A include a lifting hook to raise the lip plate and come with a hanger for storing the lifting hook when not in use.
Style B have a self-storing handle instead of a lifting hook. Pull the handle back about 50° and then return it to its original vertical position to lift the lip plate. There's no need to bend, push, or lean.
Note: To determine load, take the gross weight of equipment, add typical load weight, and then multiply by two.

Portable Dock Plates with Wheels
Telescoping handles with wheels let one person lift and position these plates without using a forklift. Use them to bridge the gap between a truck and the dock when loading and unloading with forklifts, battery-operated hand trucks, and other powered equipment. Plates have a diamond surface texture for positive traction and lips on the sides lessen the chance of vehicle runoff. You can retract the telescoping handles when the plate is in position.

Walk Ramps
Create a walkway to maneuver hand trucks on and off vehicles and trailers. These ramps have chains to secure them to a truck, and a long apron provides a smooth transition from ramp to truck bed. Ramps have a ridged, antislip surface and welded lips on the sides to prevent runoff.
Note: Not for use with pallet trucks and forklifts.

Low-Height Walk Ramps
Use these ramps to create a walkway for moving hand trucks over curbs and thresholds between 3" and 5" high. The plate surface has a diamond surface texture for good traction. The carrying handles allow for easy positioning.

Space-Saving Ramps
These ramps fold up or retract after use for convenient carrying and storage. Use them on curbs and thresholds to create a walkway for hand trucks and other equipment. They have an antislip surface and lips on the sides to lessen the chance of vehicle runoff.
Portable Dock Plates with Forklift Loops
The heaviest dock plates we offer, these are built to endure high-traffic use. Forklift loops on the top flip up for easy maneuvering with a forklift and fold down when not in use. Use plates to bridge the gap between a truck and the dock when loading and unloading with forklifts, battery-operated hand trucks, and other powered equipment. They have a diamond surface texture for positive traction and lips on the sides lessen the chance of vehicle runoff. Plates have anchoring pins that you drop into any of the eight holes along their edges—this secures the plate in the space between the dock and the truck.

Wheel Risers
Raise vehicles up for maintenance jobs or elevate them to dock height for loading and unloading. These risers have a diamond surface texture for positive traction.
Wheel Risers with Forklift Pockets
Pockets make it easy to move these risers with a forklift. Use them to raise vehicles up for maintenance jobs or bring vehicles up to dock height for loading and unloading. The diamond surface texture creates good traction, so tires won't slip or spin.
A roll-off lip stops tires from going too far and accidentally falling off the riser.
