FAQ about this model
What weight can these mini dockplates hold?
Capacity depends on the model you order: the AMD-2418 is rated 500 lb, the AMD-3018 is rated 600 lb, and the AMD-3618 is rated 700 lb. Size your choice against the combined weight of the cart or hand truck plus the load it carries, not the cargo alone, and stay within the rating.
What is the difference between the three AMD models?
They differ in rated capacity and price. The AMD-2418 is rated 500 lb at $164.78, the AMD-3018 is rated 600 lb at $175.04, and the AMD-3618 is rated 700 lb at $205.97. All three are Vestil aluminum tread plate mini dockboards, so the decision comes down to the load you need to roll across.
Can a forklift drive over one of these?
No. These are mini dockplates rated between 500 lb and 700 lb, far below the weight of any powered industrial truck before you add its load. They are meant for pedestrian traffic with hand trucks, two-wheel dollies and small carts. Forklift traffic requires a full dockboard rated for the truck and load together.
Do they need power, installation or assembly?
No. These are one-piece aluminum plates with no electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic components, so there is nothing to wire, plumb or assemble. You place the plate by hand to bridge the gap between the two surfaces and remove it when you are finished. That also makes them easy to move between doors, trucks or work areas.
What does OSHA expect when using a dockplate?
OSHA's walking-working surfaces rules require that a dockboard be capable of carrying the load placed on it and be secured so it cannot shift or slip out of position during use. In practice that means matching the rated capacity to your heaviest load, seating the plate fully on both surfaces, and keeping traffic within the plate's width.
Where are they made and what warranty comes with them?
They are made in the USA by Vestil Manufacturing and carry a 1-Year Limited warranty. Beyond that, upkeep is minimal: keep the tread surface clear of grease and debris so it stays slip-resistant, and take a plate out of service if you find cracks, bends or damaged edges rather than repairing it in place.
