Assessed on the manufacturer's published specification and on how the format fits a working shift, by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor.
Written by Steven Eaton, WC Safety Editorial, from the published Global Industrial listing. The score above is the live Amazon customer rating captured at review time - not a WC Safety test result. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The Global Industrial High-Traction Dock Plate, Aluminum, 36in W x 24in L, 3350 Lb Capacity is one of our picks for the dock plate lineup. Everything below comes straight from the manufacturer's published listing - specs, capacities, and dimensions are theirs, not ours.
A dock plate is rated for the TOTAL rolling load - equipment plus cargo plus operator - so size it for your loaded pallet jack, not the empty one. Aluminum plates suit hand trucks and manual jacks; steel dock boards with locking legs are the forklift class. Chock the trailer before the first wheel touches the plate.
Key details, quoted from the manufacturer's published listing:
- Designed for commercial, office, or industrial use
- Reliable construction supports everyday business operations
- Helps maintain efficiency across common workplace tasks
- Suitable for a wide range of professional environments
Compare all dock & warehouse equipment, pair with a pallet jack or hand truck, chock with cargo control, and browse all jobsite equipment.
What to check before you buy
Selection starts with the published rating, not the marketing headline. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.176, materials handling comes down to secure storage, clear aisles, and equipment used within its rated capacity β match the working load to the manufacturer's number, check the floor and route the wheels will actually roll on, and treat any listing that hides its rating as a reason to keep shopping.
- Trailer restraint before loading
- OSHA requires the brakes of a highway truck or trailer to be set and wheel chocks or an equivalent restraint placed before a powered industrial truck drives on.
- Dock plate versus dock leveler capacity
- Rated capacity has to cover the forklift plus its load plus the operator - not just the pallet weight.
- Trailer creep
- Repeated forklift entry can walk a trailer away from the dock. Restraints and chocks address this; relying on the driver alone does not.
- Edge and fall protection
- An open dock edge is a fall hazard. Barriers, gates or equivalent protection belong wherever the door can be open with no trailer present.
