Why Choose a Medlin Dock Board

A dock board gives you flexible, portable access where a dock leveler or edge of dock is not present. Medlin builds with heavy steel diamond plate and full welds for long service life. Side curbs improve tracking and help protect edges. Lifting chains come standard so your team can move the board quickly with a forklift.

We build dock boards to work hard while keeping budgets in check. Use them to load and unload at multiple doors, reach containers on the ground, or bridge uneven gaps without the cost of permanent equipment.

Material note: We manufacture steel dock boards. We do not produce aluminum dock plates.

Common Applications

Trailer and container loading with forklifts
Multi door warehouses that need portable access
Seasonal or overflow operations
Sites without dock levelers or edge of dock equipment
