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.

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.

Walk Ramps
Create a walkway to maneuver hand trucks on or off vehicles and trailers. These ramps come with chains to secure them in place. One end is sloped to provide a smooth transition from the ramp to a truck bed or the ground. The ramp surface has ridges to give wheels traction, and a lip is welded to each side to keep them from running off the edge. Made from aluminum, these ramps are durable and corrosion resistant, so you can use them outdoors.
Foldable ramps bend in half for storage. Carry them from job to job with the built-in handle. They have a lighter duty construction and lower capacity than comparable solid ramps.
Note: Not for use with pallet trucks and forklifts.

Vehicle Ramps
Drive a fully loaded forklift into a truck, trailer, or dock door from ground level. When you’re done, these ramps break down to the size of a double-wide pallet for storage. They’re often referred to as yard ramps because they’re common in shipping yards. Made entirely of aluminum, these ramps stand up to the weather. The perforated surface gives your vehicle traction in all conditions and allows rain, snow, and dirt to pass through. These ramps have two included ratchet straps to secure them to a vehicle and prevent them from pulling away. Plates on either end facilitate smooth transitions from ground to ramp and ramp to truck.
No tools are needed for setup. Assembly can be completed in as little as 15 minutes with two people and a forklift.
Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.

Curb Ramps
Create a smooth transition between the street and sidewalk for hand trucks and vehicles. These ramps support up to 4,000 lbs. and are compact and lightweight enough to fit easily in your truck or van. Made of molded rubber, they withstand the weather and have a raised, textured surface for increased traction.
Use straight ramps on their own, or join multiple together for a wider ramp. Add corner ramps for off-center entry. All ramps have connecting hardware.
Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
