Copperloy Has High Quality Dock Plates for all Industries
For those looking for an economical alternative to dock boards, our dock plates may be just what you need. The YARD RAMP Site’s dock plate can be used in a variety of industries and applications. Furthermore, we offer an array of specifications and features to make sure you have the right material handling equipment for the job and made in the USA.
Make the Connection with Our Loading Dock Plate
Loading dock plates are commonly used to bridge a gap from one area to another in material handling operation. Since the plate is a flat piece of metal with a slight bend for easy transition, it doesn’t have curbs. As a result, the lack of curbs makes them ideal for loading and unloading with dollies and pallet jacks. Consequently, they are also great for irregular or sharp turns, where a curb could get in the way.
Used in lighter weight applications, they are available in either steel or aluminum construction. While the aluminum dock plate design features lifting straps for easy mobility, the steel dock plate comes with a one piece lift chain for ease of movement.

Aluminum Dock Plates | The Portable Dock Plate | The Yard Ramp Site
Aluminum dock plates have more flex but are the lightest weight and most affordable dock plate we have. Engineered to be lightweight, this is Coppelroy’s most portable dock plate. The Aluminum dock plate can handle capacities up to 12,500 pounds. Since they are not made to be used with forklifts, they are ideal to handle handcarts and lighter material handling equipment and freight. Though light, the aluminum plates still come with lift straps to help move and place them.
Higher Capacities with our Steel Dock Plates
Steel dock plates offer higher capacities but give up some of their portability as they weigh more than the aluminum dock plate. Some of the high-capacity, steel dock plates can accommodate forklifts, though load weight is important. Also, steel dock plates can handle capacities reaching up to 17,000 pounds and steel plates come with a one piece lift chain and make moving and positioning the plates very easy.
Built Tough | Built to Last | Heavy Duty Dock Plates
The Yard Ramp Site’s heavy-duty dock plates are engineered with durability and efficiency in mind. As an industry leader in custom fabrication, only the finest of material are used. Pallet jacks, dollies, and carts work best with plates due to the capacity level. The YARD RAMP Site plates are built to handle capacities between 1,000-14,000 lbs. In comparison, The YARD RAMP Site manufactures dock boards. Dock board designs handle 10,000-15,000+ lbs.
The Answer for Forklift Dock Plates Hands Down is Dock Boards
Instead of asking for a forklift dock plate, explore The YARD RAMP Site’s Dock Boards. Dock boards are the superhero of the dock plate. Handle higher capacities and larger equipment. In comparison, forklifts and fork trucks can be used with dock boards. Also, these boards have curbs to prevent runoff and are available in steel or aluminum.
