This Vestil TAS-20-7236 dockboard bridges the gap between a truck and loading dock to allow access for forklifts, hand trucks, and pallet trucks to load or unload cargo. It is made of aluminum for light weight and resistance to corrosion and has a 20,000-lb. capacity. It has a non-skid raised treadplate pattern for safety and beveled edges on the ends for a smooth transition. It has bolted steel legs 12" from the end for preventing movement during loading and unloading, and it has steel safety curbs for preventing accidental runoffs. These curbs are painted safety yellow to provide a visible driving lane. When not in use, the dockboard rests in a canted position for easy pickup using fork trucks. This dockboard is 36" in length, 72" wide, and has a 68-1/4" usable width. The bend has an 11-degree angle and is located 9" from the edge.
Vestil manufactures materials handling equipment, including hoists and trolleys, jib and gantry cranes, loading dock equipment, and storage solutions. The company, founded in 1968, is headquartered in Angola, IN.
