Patriot Docks Aluminum Quick Connect Plates – Model Number 10808

Description

Product Overview

The Patriot Docks Aluminum Quick Connect Plates, model 10808, are engineered to provide a dependable, lightweight docking interface for a wide range of industrial environments. Constructed from high‑grade aluminum, each plate offers a balance of strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring long‑term performance even in demanding warehouse or distribution center conditions. The design incorporates two male and two female connector plates, allowing users to configure short dock sections independently or to integrate seamlessly with longer roll‑in dock systems. With a net weight of just five pounds per plate, handling and installation are straightforward, reducing labor time and minimizing the risk of injury.

Key specifications include a load‑bearing capacity suitable for standard pallet trucks, a surface finish that resists scratches and dents, and precise machining tolerances that guarantee a flush fit with existing dock equipment. The plates are compatible with a variety of dock levelers and can be paired with additional Patriot Docks accessories to create a fully customized loading solution.

Usage

These quick connect plates excel in environments where flexibility and rapid reconfiguration are essential. In busy warehouses, operators can install a short dock section to accommodate a temporary loading bay, then remove it without tools when the space is needed for other operations. The plates also serve well in roll‑in dock configurations, where longer dock lengths are required to match the height of various trailer types. Because the plates are lightweight, they can be moved by a single worker using standard material handling equipment such as pallet jacks or hand trucks.

Typical use cases include loading and unloading of freight trucks, trailer exchanges, and the creation of temporary loading zones during peak shipping periods. The aluminum construction ensures that the plates remain functional in temperature‑extreme environments, from refrigerated warehouses to outdoor loading docks exposed to rain or sun.
