ABSTRACT:
A dockboard, such as a pit type comprising a frame, a deck attached to the frame at one end thereof, a lip hinged to another end of the deck for movement between a pendant position and an outward extended position. A maintenance assembly for the dockboard has a pivotable prop mounted to the underside of the deck for movement between a stored position generally parallel to the deck and a downward extended position supporting the deck. A locking member secures the prop in both the stored and the extended position. The lip may be supported by the maintenance assembly using a spring member to support the lip support bar, or move a member into engagement thereby preventing the lip from falling.
