The Vestil Aluminum Truck Dock Board is specifically engineered to enhance safety while accommodating heavy fork trucks and loads. It features a beveled edge to facilitate smooth vehicle entry and exit. The board includes locking legs that prevent movement during loading and unloading operations. These legs are unevenly positioned to allow the dock board to rest at an angle for easier pickup by fork trucks when not in use.

Additional safety features include welded aluminum safety curbs, which prevent accidental run-offs and delineate a visible driving lane. It is recommended that when using three-wheeled fork trucks, the dock board should have a capacity at least four times greater than the lifting capacity of the fork truck. Furthermore, the width of the dock board should be at least 15 inches wider than the load or equipment passing between the curbs to ensure adequate space. The bend is set at 11 degrees and located 9 inches from the edge, with the legs positioned 12 inches from the edge, ensuring stability and safety. All Vestil dock boards are manufactured in compliance with OSHA standards, ensuring regulatory safety requirements are met.
