A Ramp Designed for Every Application

Dock Boards and Dock Plates are terms often used interchangeably, despite differences in their applications. Where Dock Boards are primarily used in warehouse facilities with motorized equipment, like forklifts and tow motors, Dock Plates are limited to non motorized applications requiring a ramp light enough to move by hand. Filling both of these Ramp market niches loading dock supply offers a range of ramps, boards and levelers stocked across the USA for cheaper shipping and shorter leads times. We also offer custom fabrication for instances where typical ramp designs don't provide the level of safety and adaptability your dock or equipment require.

Need help selecting a ramp? When recommending a Dock Board or Dock Plate our experts take into consideration dock height, trailer height, equipment, parkout, and environment to ensure you are receiving a perfect match to your ramp application.

Dock Ramp Guide

FAQ

Are the dock boards in stock?
Common dock board sizes are typically in stock ready to ship. If not in stock, a short 5-7 working day lead time is all it takes to get a Steel Dock Board produced or 1 working day for Aluminum Dock Boards.


Pins vs Legs on a dock board?
Pins and legs in action serve the same function of keeping the board affixed in place, where these two differ is the models with pins are adjustable. The draw back of having a fixed position makes models with legs inefficient when dealing with both refrigerated and dry van trailers as refrigerated trailers generally require a longer lip length than dry van trailers. In the case of models with pins the lip is wholly adjustable making it ideal for all types of trailers.


Whats the difference between a dock plate and a dock board?
The major difference between a dock plate and a dock board is found in the fact dock plates don't have curbs. Due to this dock plates do not have fixed capacities and are unable to handle motorized equipment.


How can I place a Dock Board without a forklift?
There are two possible options. The first option would be to use an aluminum dock board with the ez roll handle add-on, or alternatively many of our customers opt for the more permanent solution an edge of dock leveler provides.


Can you make a custom Dock Board?
Yes, custom board sizes are available at short lead times of 7 working days.
