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.

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 below; Boards for all traffic or just gas forklifts. It is important to know what types of equipment will be using on the board to ensure the length will accommodate a 19% grade for gas forklifts or a 14% grade for everything else. Always be sure to round partial increments up.
- 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.
