Aluminum Truck Dock Board, 54in x 30in, 8000 lb., Silver

Description

The Vestil BTA-08005430 Aluminum Truck Dock Board is a robust and efficient solution for safely loading and unloading heavy fork trucks and cargo. With dimensions of 54 inches by 30 inches and a weight capacity of 8,000 pounds, this dockboard caters to the demanding needs of businesses that regularly handle substantial loads.Constructed entirely from high-quality aluminum, the dockboard is engineered for longevity, ensuring it withstands the rigors of daily use. The locking legs provide enhanced stability by preventing movement during operations, thereby promoting a safer working environment. Notably, these legs are designed to be unevenly mounted, allowing the dockboard to sit at an angle when not in use, making pick-up effortless for fork trucks.Safety is paramount, which is why the dockboard features welded aluminum safety curbs. These curbs not only prevent accidental runoffs but also create a clearly defined driving lane that enhances overall visibility and ease of use. Compliance with OSHA standards further underscores its reliability in various workplace settings.For optimal performance, especially with three-wheeled fork trucks, it is recommended to select a dockboard with a capacity of at least four times that of the truck’s lift. To ensure efficient operations, the dockboard should also be at least 15 inches wider than the loads or equipment navigating between the curbs.With a bend of 11 degrees positioned 9 inches from the edge and legs set back 12 inches, the Vestil BTA-08005430 offers versatility and precision in handling a range of loads. This dockboard is not just a tool; it is an essential asset for any business dedicated to safety, efficiency, and productivity. Experience the exceptional durability and design of this aluminum dockboard, and make it a staple in your loading operations.
