Dock boards (steel, locking legs, side curbs) serve forklifts. The distinction is a safety rule, not a marketing tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWidth and height difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlates need overlap on both surfaces and are rated for a maximum dock-to-trailer height difference - the listings here state usable dimensions.

The capacity and dimension figures in our table are the manufacturers' published numbers - verify your dock-to-trailer height difference against each listing before buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a dock plate and a dock board?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlates are aluminum spans for manual equipment - hand trucks, pallet jacks, carts. Boards are steel, higher capacity, with locking legs and usually curbs, rated for forklift traffic. Using a plate where a board belongs is a bent plate at best.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I size a dock plate capacity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd equipment weight, max cargo, and operator, then buy comfortable margin above the total. The models here publish 700 to 13,000 lb ratings - the spread exists because the loads differ that much.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCan a forklift cross an aluminum dock plate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo - forklift crossings need a steel dock board with locking legs like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/guardian-b004zpa0co\" title=\"Guardian 60x60\"\u003eGuardian 60x60\u003c\/a\u003e.
