Steel Dock Boards
The Difference
Dock Plates are rectangles of steel or aluminum with some type of locking leg and either hand hole or handles to move them. Plates are NEVER for power equipment. They are ideal for hand truck and pallet jack traffic … manually moved. They offer the lightest and most cost effective answer to your loading / unloading challenges.
Dock Boards are like plates but with the addition of structural components above the plate (curbs) and sometimes on the underside as is the case with rail boards. There are different types of locking devices from fixed legs to drop pins or locking rings. Dock Boards are for forklift and other vehicle traffic. They are best specified by an expert who can take all aspects of your application into consideration. With the correct dock board you can expect SAFETY – LONGEVITY – PRODUCTIVITY.

Aluminum vs Steel Dock Equipment
Aluminum Dock Plates often make sense because of the lighter capacity and the need to manually move the dock plate.
Aluminum Dock Boards are the best choice for certain applications that take advantage of aluminum properties. For the same rated capacity, the boards are considerably lighter than steel. Aluminum is ideal for applications where sparking is a concern. Additionally, aluminum does not rust to the same extent that steel does, making it an excellent choice for corrosive environments.
Steel Dock Boards are the better alternative for higher capacity applications. Steel is much more durable with a longer lifespan. Also, for the same capacity, steel boards tend to be less expensive.
ANSI Standard: Bluff tests its dock boards and dock plates to ensure they perform in accordance with the ANSI standard.
NOTE: It is the customer's responsibility to verify product correctness of fit for applications and to verify that this product complies with all safety laws, codes, and regulations.
Ideal Use Cases
- Warehouses without loading docks
- Construction or agricultural job sites
- Distribution centers with temporary dock access
- Freight depots requiring ground-level trailer access
- Manufacturing and recycling centers
Why Buy or Rent a Yard Ramp?
- Versatility: Good for warehousing, construction, distribution and shipping, manufacturing, agribusiness, recycling, and many other industries.
- Mobility: Choose a mobile ramp that moves on its own wheels or tires, or a stationary ramp that anchors in place.
- Safety Features: Steel curbs, serrated steel grating, and safety chains come standard on most models, with hydraulic or hand-crank leveling on mobile ramps.
- Cost Savings: Renting for shorter-term needs such as seasonal spikes often makes more sense than buying.
