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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Low-Height Vehicle Ramps
Create a smooth transition for driving forklifts over curbs and into shipping containers. Often used for loading or unloading, these vehicle ramps have a diamond texture on the surface to give wheels traction.
Steel ramps are strong enough to hold up to frequent use. A lip on each side keeps wheels from running off the edge. To keep them from shifting, lock them to your container with the included chains. These ramps have loops built into the top, so you can pick them up and move them with your forklift. The loops fold flat when they’re not in use.
Note: Ramps that have OSHA specifications listed meet dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
