Measure the height difference between the truck floor and the dock if the truck is onsite. Otherwise, measure the height of the dock making sure the approach to the dock is fairly level. Base the maximum height difference on the fact that most trucks are no more than 53″ to 54″ high. Always order long enough to handle the maximum height difference. Use the following diagrams to determine the height difference: STEP 2: DETERMINE THE WIDTH. The width should be a minimum of 12″ wider than the equipment being taken over the plate/board.General width recommendations for : Hand Trucks 2 Wheels 36″ Platform Trucks 4 Wheels 48″ Pallet Trucks N/A 48″ Forklift Trucks N/A 60″ STEP 3: DETERMINE THE AXLE LOAD & TYPE OF EQUIPMENT. Lastly, determine the maximum axle load based on the type of equipment being used. Apply the following rules to determine the axle load: 2-wheel hand truck – 100% Gross Weight 4-wheel platform truck – 50% Gross Weight Non-powered pallet trucks – 60% Gross Weight Electric pallet trucks – 80% Gross Weight Counter- balanced forklift trucks – 90% Gross Weight (ie. truck + load) NOTE: We recommend dockboards for all forklift applications and most electric pallet truck usage SEARCH Search Toggle the Widgetbar Address 174 Milvan Drive, Weston, Ontario Canada M9L 1Z9 Contact Tel: 416.741.2501 Fax: 416.741.7223 Email: info@rampmaster.com WEBSITE DESIGN & CODE BY QUENCH DESIGN & COMMUNICATIONS THANK YOU FOR VISITING RAMPMASTER.COM
