About Dock Levelers and Dock Plates

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.

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.

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.
