Nominal dimensions Widths □ 6' (1829 mm) □ 6'6" (1980 mm) □ 7' (2134 mm) Operation The platform is raised when the dock attendant activates the release-chain release assembly, located at the rear of the platform. The hinged lip fully extends during upward travel. The attendant walks the platform down onto the truck bed. If truck beds are below dock height, the attendant pulls a second chain at the front of the platform during walk-down. The standard 16" (406 mm) lip extends 11" (280 mm) beyond the standard 4" (102 mm) bumper. The platform is designed to compensate for canted truck beds up to 4"...
