The Steel Dock Board with Handle effectively bridges the gap between a loading dock and transport trailer deck, for surface transition to move pallets, cargo, forklifts, and small equipment into and out of the trailer. The heavy-duty reinforced 72 wide dock board is 3/8 in. thick for added strength and is available in 5 lengths and 2 weight capacities to accommodate inclines up to 11 in. H. Tapered edges on each end enable forklifts, pump carts, and wheeled equipment to transition the surface smoothly and seamlessly. Guardian aluminum dock boards feature heavy-duty, highly visible safety yellow painted steel curb rails on each side, and include an integrated steel carrying chain with quick U-bolt attachment for transport by forklift.
