Heavy Duty Ramps Aluminum Dock Board | Model DB-20-72-48-GRIT | Size 48" L x 72" W | Capacity 20,000 lb | Horsepower 23 HP | For Warehouses, Loading Docks & Forklifts


DESCRIPTION

The Heavy Duty Ramps 48" x 72" Lightweight Aluminum Dock Board is engineered to create a safe, efficient, and dependable bridge between loading docks and trucks. Designed for busy warehouses, freight terminals, and distribution centers, this heavy-duty dock board withstands intense daily use while remaining significantly lighter than traditional steel alternatives. Its patent-pending aluminum structure gives operators the strength they need up to 20,000 lb. capacity without the unnecessary bulk that slows workflow.

A premium epoxy grit-coat surface delivers exceptional traction in rain, snow, and dusty environments, helping forklift operators maintain full control during loading and unloading. The tapered knife foot ensures a smooth transition between truck bed and dock floor, reducing jolts and improving equipment stability under load. Integrated side curbs help keep wheels and pallet jacks securely on track, while the included 72" forklift chain allows quick, safe repositioning without manual strain.

Whether your crews handle pallets, crates, or heavy industrial equipment, this lightweight aluminum dock board is built to boost productivity, improve safety, and stand up to relentless commercial use. Ideal for any facility needing a reliable, corrosion-resistant dock board that performs in all conditions, it’s the smart upgrade for modern material-handling operations.

Key Features

  • Lightweight aluminum construction delivers high strength with easier handling, maximizing productivity without sacrificing the 20,000 lb heavy-duty load capacity.
  • Epoxy grit-coat traction surface ensures secure forklift and pallet jack movement, even in wet, icy, or dusty commercial environments.
  • Smooth knife-foot taper minimizes bumps during truck-to-dock transitions, helping protect equipment, cargo, and operators.

  • Designed for loading docks with up to 7" height differential, creating a stable, reliable bridge between uneven surfaces.
  • Included 72" forklift lifting chain enables fast repositioning, reducing downtime and eliminating manual handling strain.
  • Resilient aluminum frame resists corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor docks, humid climates, and long-term industrial use.
  • Wide 72" deck provides generous operating room for larger forklift models and oversized pallet loads.
  • Compact 48" length is ideal for tight warehouse spaces while still offering smooth grade transition and stable load support.
  • Engineered with a patent-pending design to offer maximum strength at a significantly lower weight than comparable dock boards.

  • Optimized for forklifts, pallet jacks, and warehouse equipment, supporting efficient material flow in logistics environments.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
