Edge of Docks, or EODs, will not work at all shipping doors but they do work very well in the right application. Most loading dock heights are in the range of 46” to 50” with 48” being most common.
The EOD extends approximately 27” from the building wall when it is in position on the truck with the hinged lip extended. Because of the relatively short deck length the EOD will not work with trucks that are any more than 4”-5” above or below dock height because the ramp is too steep. EOD’s are almost always bolted or welded directly to the front of the foundation wall. Because there is no structural support under the EOD they are designed for light weight applications that use 2 wheel carts or pallet trucks.
