- 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 chould 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.
