Steel Truck Dockplates

Steel Truck Dockplates provide a safe and efficient transition between dock and truck during loading and unloading operations. Built for heavy-duty industrial environments, these plates ensure reliable performance for hand trucks, pallet jacks, and forklifts by bridging height gaps while maintaining traction and stability.

Each dockplate is precision-engineered from high-strength (55,000 psi) steel tread plate for maximum durability and load support. Designed with an 11° bend located 9" from the beveled edge, these dockplates feature locking legs positioned 10" from the beveled edge to prevent slippage. The raised tread pattern enhances traction, while beveled edges provide smooth entry and exit.
All models include a chain pickup for easy placement and comply with OSHA safety standards.
For three-wheeled pallet trucks, it is recommended to increase capacity by 20% to compensate for the concentrated load center.

Features and Benefits

• High-Strength Construction: Fabricated from 55,000 psi steel tread plate for superior load capacity and long service life
• Safety Locking Legs: Prevent movement between dock and truck during use
• Raised Tread Surface: Provides secure footing and improved traction in all conditions
• Beveled Edges: Ensure smooth and safe transitions for loading equipment
• Chain Pickup Handle: Simplifies positioning and removal of the dockplate
• OSHA Compliant: Meets federal safety standards for industrial use
• Durable Finish: Industrial yellow paint provides corrosion resistance and visibility

Available Configurations

The Series SE and Series SEH differ primarily in capacity and reinforcement:

• Series SE models offer capacities from 2,475 to 7,720 lb, ideal for standard warehouse and light forklift applications
• Series SEH models are reinforced high-capacity plates, rated from 4,400 to 13,200 lb, designed for heavy-duty loading conditions and higher traffic
• Both series share the same overall construction, surface tread, safety legs, bend geometry, and OSHA compliance

Available Sizes and Capacities

Steel Truck Dockplates are offered in multiple widths (30" to 60") and lengths (48" to 72") to accommodate various dock heights and vehicle configurations

• Series SE - Standard Capacity:
  Capacities range from 2,475 lb (SE-4860) up to 7,720 lb (SE-7230)
• Series SEH - Heavy-Duty Capacity:
  Capacities range from 4,400 lb (SEH-4860) up to 13,200 lb (SEH-7230)

Application and Selection Notes

• Select the plate size based on dock height, truck bed height, and equipment type
• Wider and longer plates provide easier gradients for higher docks
• Always confirm capacity rating exceeds the combined weight of load and equipment
• For three-wheel pallet trucks, increase required capacity by 20%
