It bridges the gap between the dock leveler and the trailer floor, providing a smooth, stable transition for pallet jacks, forklifts, and other material handling equipment. Weighing 121 pounds, this approach plate measures 96 inches in length and 14 inches in width, offering substantial coverage across the dock opening. The durable steel construction is built to withstand the repetitive stress of daily freight operations without deforming or fatiguing. Licensed dock technicians and industrial maintenance crews are the primary installers of this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach plate is intended for industrial and commercial loading dock environments where Edge-O-Dock levelers are already installed. It is sold as an optional accessory to improve transition smoothness and maximize operational efficiency during trailer loading and unloading. It is suited for facilities running high-frequency dock cycles, where a clean, flush approach surface reduces equipment wear and operator fatigue. The plate ships as a single unit and is designed for straightforward field installation alongside compatible Edge-O-Dock leveler models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-gauge steel construction engineered for long service life under repeated industrial loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e96-inch length provides full-width coverage across standard dock openings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14-inch width delivers adequate approach transition surface for wheeled material handling equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional accessory that enhances leveler performance for maximum operational efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single unit for direct field installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with the following Edge-O-Dock leveler models: FM-0648, FM-2066, FM-2072, FM-2078, FM-2566, FM-2572, FM-3066, FM-3072, PP-1572-36, PP-2066, PP-2072, PP-2566, PP-2572, PP-2572-36, PP-3066, PP-3072, PE-1572-36, PE-2066, PE-2072, PE-2566, PE-2572, PE-2572-36, PE-3066, and PE-3072.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by qualified dock equipment technicians or industrial maintenance personnel familiar with loading dock leveler systems. Before installing, confirm the dock leveler is fully lowered and the trailer or vehicle is secured with wheel chocks to prevent movement. Verify the approach plate orientation and mounting method matches the leveler model in use prior to fastening. Consult the leveler manufacturer documentation and applicable facility safety protocols before beginning work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 96 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 121 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VESTIL MANUFACTURING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VESTIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68072666038578,"sku":"AP","price":327.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/caa1ee844ff051ca5cebad9617776e2d.jpg?v=1793101139","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vestil-manufacturing-ap-edge-o-dock-approach-plate-96x14-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
