DOCK PLATES FROM THE YARD RAMP SHOP | BUILT FOR VERSATILITY
If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to dock boards, our dock plates offer a lightweight and practical solution. Made in the USA and trusted across a wide range of industries, The Yard Ramp Shop dock plates are engineered to help bridge small gaps for easier material handling—without the weight or bulk of traditional dock boards.
Loading Dock Plates: Simple, Effective Transition Solutions
Dock plates are ideal for bridging the gap between a loading dock and a truck or between uneven surfaces. Made from a flat metal sheet with a slight bend for smooth transition, dock plates do not include curbs. This makes them perfect for use with pallet jacks, hand trucks, and dollies—especially where tight turns or irregular movement could be obstructed by curbs.
These plates are best suited for light-duty applications and are available in both steel and aluminum. Steel plates feature a one-piece lift chain for easy repositioning, while aluminum models come with built-in lifting straps for lightweight portability.

Aluminum Dock Plates | The Portable Dock Plate
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.
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 to Last | Heavy Duty Dock Plates
Copperloy’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 Shop plates are built to handle capacities between 1,000-14,000 lbs. In comparison, The Yard Ramp Shop manufactures dock boards. Dock board designs handle 10,000-15,000+ lbs.
Dock Boards: The Answer for Forklift Dock Plates
Instead of asking for a forklift dock plate, explore The Yard Ramp Shop 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.
