The Vestil VES1014-4.5F laminated rubber dock bumper is designed to protect loading docks and trailers by absorbing impact at the dock edge. Crafted from fabric reinforced rubber sourced from recycled truck tires, the bumper is laminated between painted structural angles and held together with 3/4" steel tie rods, providing a robust, economical solution for fleet and dock operations. A 12" center support bracket is included with the 96" wide configurations, and the unit can be installed quickly by bolting or welding to the dock.
This model features a 10" high by 10" wide rubber face, with overall width matching the bolt-hole layout as specified for the Type A and C bumper constructions. Bolt holes are 13/16" in diameter for Type A and C, ensuring compatibility with standard mounting hardware. The width measurement is defined as bolt-hole center to bolt-hole center, with special note that the VES1014-4.5F has a 6" width specification, consistent with its center-to-center layout. The design leverages laminated construction to provide a durable first line of defense against container and trailer impacts while utilizing recycled materials, aligning with practical cost considerations for dock protection.
When selecting this bumper, consider dock layout, mounting method (bolting or welding), and clearance requirements for the trailer traffic. The included center bracket aids alignment for installation, and the overall assembly relies on the rigid steel framing to transfer impact into the bumper face and backing structure. This product is categorized for material handling, and its packaging is listed as individual units, suitable for stocking in dock-management inventories and replacing worn or damaged bumpers as part of routine dock maintenance.
