Dock Plate and Dock Board Sizing 

Dock board and dock plate width is determined by the size of equipment used to load and unload and the width of the largest load. When in doubt, choose the wider board or plate to ensure safer operation. Side curbs reduce the useable width of boards and must be considered in choosing the correct width. Dock board and dock plate length is determined by the desired maximum slope of the ramp into and out of the truck from the dock. Each type of equipment used has characteristics to consider relative to the maximum desired slope:
Hand Pallet Trucks - Max. slope 6%
Electric Fork Trucks - Max. slope 10%
Gas Fork Trucks - Max. slope 15%
