Loading Dock Plate

The Quickest Way to Bridge the Gap from Dock to Truck

Copperloy Dock Plate

The Copperloy loading dock plate fulfills the same function as traditional loading dock boards but offers a more budget-friendly alternative for less intensive tasks. These dock plates are versatile, suitable for a multitude of applications across various industries. Our inventory includes a large number of forklift dock plates. Explore the specifications provided below to determine the best option for your specific loading facility needs.

What is a Loading Dock Plate?

Dock plates serve as crucial connectors in material handling operations, facilitating seamless transitions between different areas. The absence of curbs renders dock plates particularly suitable for navigating irregular or sharp turns, making them ideal for applications involving dollies and pallet jacks. In scenarios requiring lighter loads, Copperloy recommends the use of dock plates, available in both steel and aluminum versions.

The aluminum dock plates feature lifting straps for enhanced portability while steel counterparts are equipped with a one-piece lift chain. Streamlining light material handling tasks, these dock plates effectively bridge the gaps between docks and trailers, catering to diverse industries and applications.

Whether it’s for loading with dollies or pallet jacks, Copperloy’s dock plates offer reliability and versatility. Trust in Copperloy for a comprehensive range of loading solutions, including high-quality American-made yard ramps and more.

Choosing the Right Dock Plate for Your Space

Copperloy’s range of dock plates is engineered to withstand capacities ranging from 1,000 to 17,000 lbs, making them optimal for accommodating pallet jacks, dollies, and carts within this weight range.

Specifications of an Aluminum Dock Plate

Designed to handle loads of up to 12,500 pounds, Copperloy’s aluminum dock plates are perfectly suited for traffic generated by lighter material handling equipment. While not intended for use with forklifts, these plates excel with handcarts and lighter material handling equipment. Despite their lightweight construction, our aluminum plates feature lift straps for enhanced convenience.

Specifications of Steel Dock Plates

For installations requiring higher weight capacities than those handled by aluminum dock plates, Copperloy’s steel dock plates offer the ideal solution. With capacities of up to 17,000 pounds, these plates are capable of accommodating traffic generated by fork trucks. Although steel dock plates sacrifice some portability due to their weight, they provide robust support for heavier loads. Featuring a one-piece lift chain for ease of use, our steel plates are engineered for durability and reliability.

While steel dock plates offer higher weight capacities, the choice between dock plates and industrial dock boards depends on various factors such as activity levels within the facility. For personalized guidance on selecting the optimal solution for your specific requirements, don’t hesitate to connect with our knowledgeable manufacturing team at Copperloy. We’re here to help you make informed decisions and maximize the efficiency of your loading operations.

Dock Plates for Loading & Truck Docks

Dock Boards: The True Forklift Dock Plate

If you’re in search of a robust solution for forklift traffic, consider Copperloy Dock Boards as an alternative to forklift dock plates. Dock boards, serving as the larger counterparts to steel dock plates, offer superior capabilities to handle heavier capacities and accommodate larger equipment.

Unlike dock plates, dock boards are designed to withstand the demands of forklifts and fork trucks, making them suitable for more substantial loading tasks. Additionally, dock boards feature curbs to prevent runoff, enhancing safety and efficiency during loading and unloading operations. Similar to dock plates, Copperloy offers dock boards in both steel and aluminum variants.

Copperloy dock boards are the heavy-duty option for installations requiring significant forklift traffic. Featuring side curbs for runoff prevention, these boards boast high weight capacities ranging from 15,000 to 20,000 lbs. Customers can select from steel or aluminum models based on their project requirements and goals.

For further information on material options, weight capacities, and customization possibilities, reach out to the Copperloy team today. We’re here to assist you in finding the ideal solution to meet your specific loading needs and enhance the efficiency of your operations.
