A common problem on loading docks is bridging the gap between a truck and the dock or warehouse floor. Not all trucks are the same height, and the height of the trailer floor within a truck can vary according to how heavily the truck is laden. Thus, there is not only a gap to bridge, but a height difference to overcome.
Dock boards can be quite heavy and therefore, include carry chains so they can be transported by the forklift. Alternative dock plates and boards in a range of sizes and load ratings are available on request. Dock boards are supplied with chains to enable easy relocation by the forklift
