For docks without a forklift the Bluff Aluminum Dock Board is the ideal choice. Built for hand portability, the AC & BC Aluminum Dock Board offers the mobility of a dock plate while providing set capacities you would expect from a steel dock board. Available in either 3/8" or 1/2" thick aluminum decking, the aluminum dock board offers the capacity of steel dock board at a fraction of the weight. Ideal for loading applications without forklifts or when the environment is corrosive.
Eliminate the need to climb up and down from the forklift when placing and removing the Aluminum Dock Board with Speedy Board Cutouts.
Simple in design and function, the cutouts are notches taken from the lip of the board to allow the forklift tongs entry to the underside, eliminating the need for cumbersome lifting chains.

Designed for loading docks without forklifts or where staff are often required to position boards by hand, the EZ-Roll Handle system eliminates the risk of injury presented by moving a 100+lbs board. Simply attached to the side with the side rail bolts, the Ez-Roll handle system cantilevers the dock board allowing for personnel to roll up to the loading dock and position the board. When in use and stored the handles collapse and rest at the sides of the ramp.

Dock Board Length Chart
To ensure your dockboard will provide a sufficient grade for your equipment, Measure the greatest difference between dock and truck height to find the differential.
There are two variables considered in the chart (left); Boards for all traffic or just gas forklifts. It is important to know what types of equipment will be used on the board to ensure the length will accomodate a 19% grade for gas forklifts or a 14% grade for everything else. Always be sure to round partial increments up to the next inch.
Match your greatest Differential to the increments on the left (Y-axis)
Follow the line across until you intersect with the block corresponding to your equipment type.
From there follow the line down to the Recommended board length.
Dock Board Capacity Chart
Insufficient capacity is a serious problem that severely reduces the life of your dock board, putting your equipment and personnel at risk. When determining the capacity you need consider the equipment types used and overall period of daily use.
Match your equipment capacity rating to the increments on the bottom (x-axis)
Follow the line up until you intersect with the block corresponding to the equipment type(s).
Then follow the line to the left (Y-axis) to determine your recommended capacity.
Note: operations exceeding 8 hours a day should increase their board capacity to the next level.
