2. Center the ramp in the doorway and tack weld at
each end. Be certain the mounting plate does not
extend above the edge of dock.

dock edge.
4. Weld bumper blocks on each side of ramp. Weld

1. Remove all material and protrusions from the face of
dock.
2. In installations where cartons or pallets are slid
along the building floor into the truck, the approach
plate must be recessed into a groove in the floor.
3. To install the groove, locate and mark the center of
the dock where ramp is to be mounted. Make a
centered chalk line 1/2 inch longer than ramp plate,
12 inches back from the face of the dock.
4. Using a SKIL ROTO Hammer No. 736, or similar
tool, cut a groove 3/8" deep x 2" wide x ramp
length plus 1/2 inch on the outside of the line. (The
groove will start 10" from the dock face and end
12" from dock face.)
