Product Overview
This Bluff aluminum dock plate uses a diamond-plated 3/8"-thick aluminum deck for non-powered loading applications. The source recommends it for pallet trucks and other non-powered material-handling equipment rather than forklifts.
Bolt-on steel legs help secure the plate between the dock and trailer. The source lists an 11-degree lip bend, an 11-inch standard lip for conventional trailers, and an optional 14-inch lip for refrigerated applications; capacity varies by plate dimensions.
