HOW TO ORDER:
1. Determine required capacity:
90% of gross weight for forklift trucks;
67% of gross weight for powered pallet trucks.
Example:
Wt. of Forklift + Wt. of Heaviest Load = Gross Weight x 0.90 = Required Capacity
(5500 lbs. + 10 000 lbs. = 15 500 x .90 = 13 500 lbs.)
2. Select dockboard width:
Add 12" to width of equipment to be used on dockboard.
3. Determine height differential:
The vertical distance from dock floor to truck floor.
