These dock boards are designed for a typical 10" height difference over 60" length—well within safe limits. Secure Placement: Ensure the dock board is securely positioned with locking legs or pins resting against the dock surface before use. Approach Speed: Forklift operators should approach and cross the dock board at low speed and at a straight angle to prevent corner stress or tipping. Load Direction: Always load with the weight moving uphill (from low to high). Do not reverse heavy loads downhill over the board. Check Weight Rating: Ensure the selected dock board’s capacity exceeds the combined weight of the forklift and the heaviest intended load. Why Choose Linconson Dock Boards?
