Vestil E-3036 Aluminum Economizer Dock Plate 30in x 36in 3/8in Thick

Description

Product Overview

The Vestil E3036 Aluminum Economizer Dock Plate is engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding material handling environments. Constructed from high‑strength aluminum treadplate, the plate offers a lightweight yet durable surface that can withstand up to 1,800 lb of static load. Its dimensions of 30 in × 36 in and a 3/8 in (38 mm) thickness provide a generous loading area while maintaining a low profile for easy maneuverability. The zinc‑plated locking legs and lifting handles are OSHA compliant, ensuring secure placement and safe handling during dock operations. Beveled entrance and exit edges reduce the risk of snagging and facilitate a smooth transition for personnel and equipment moving across the dock surface.

Usage

This dock plate is ideally suited for a variety of loading dock scenarios where foot traffic, hand trucks, and pallet trucks are common. It excels in environments such as warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities that require a stable, non‑slip surface for moving goods. The plate’s sturdy design supports the weight of heavy pallets while its beveled edges allow for seamless entry and exit, minimizing downtime and reducing the potential for product damage. Because the plate is not intended for forklift use, it is perfect for applications where forklifts are restricted or where a lighter, more portable solution is needed.

Operators will appreciate the ease of deployment thanks to the ergonomically designed lifting handles, which enable quick placement and removal without the need for additional tools. The zinc‑plated legs lock securely into place, preventing movement during operation and ensuring a safe working environment for employees. The plate’s aluminum construction also resists corrosion, making it suitable for both indoor and covered outdoor dock areas.
