Rail Dock Plates
What Are Rail Dock Plates?
Rail dock plates are also known as railcar dock plates, rail dock levelers or rail boards all serve in the utmost important function of creating a dock platform for loading and unloading freight rail cars using a forklift. Our rail dock boards are designed and specifically engineered to meet the dimensions and specifications for each unique rail loading dock site. Connecting railway boxcars to loading docks with our railcar dock plates will ensure safety and durability, increase work efficiency and profitability of your material handling rail car shipping industry.
Copperloy offers several design applications including rectangular, flared, refrigerator car, car to car and plug door cars. Our heavy-duty rail boards are proudly manufactured in the US with rugged all-welded steel construction with standard capacities up to 40,000 pounds. Additionally, our in-house engineering team can custom design larger capacities to meet any specifications of your loading applications. Additional features include a non-slip high strength plate decking, forklift lifting loops, and a rugged under-brace and automatic locking ring for positive and secure positioning.
