Dock Bumpers
Dock Bumpers:
Dock buffers, also known as dock bumpers are fixed to the outer face of the loading bay to create a buffer between the vehicle and building. This prevents damage to the loading bay, the bulding and to vehicles during reversing, loading and unloading. Reducing this wear and tear and damage consequently significantly reduce maintenance costs.
The Dock Bumpers come in a range of shapes and sizes. They are robust, good quality and cost effective.
RUBBER DOCK BUMPERS:
Rubber dock bumpers provide good protection to the dock front against vehicle impact.
Standard bumpers are rectangular, L-shaped bumpers are available where a wider docking area is required.
Vertically movable bumpers have a pad which can move vertically up and down, following the movement of the vehicle during loading/unloading. This avoids stress on the fixings, giving the bumper a longer life.
PE DOCK BUMPERS:
A highly durable dock buffer with a unique construction and patented materials, giving superior performance to conventional rubber bumpers as they are more durable, low friction face and no exposed fixings.
The buffer comprises a replaceable front pad, rubber cushioning strips and steel back casing, of patented materials. Very resistant to high impact and frictional forces. No fixings are exposed on the front face of the pad. The back plate is mounted directly on the dock face with minimum bolt projection covered by the front pad.
The buffer consists of an ultra high molecular polyethylene front pad, two rubber cushioning strips and a hot-dipped galvanised steel back casing and retainer. The cushioning strips spread impact forces over the entire buffer surface. Front pad can be black or yellow polyethylene or yellow nylon.
