The rear frame assembly must be separated from the dock leveler deck and must be poured into place when the floor slab concrete
is poured. Concrete strength is to be a minimum of 3,000 PSI, poured to a minimum thickness of 12” in all areas adjacent to the
rear frame assembly. The front face of the curb channel must be retained in a true vertical position during pour, and the finished
floor must be flush with the upper surface of the curb channel, along the full width of the frame.
