The Vestil 1014-6 Laminated Rubber Dock Bumper is a durable, economical protection solution designed for loading docks and trailer bumpers. Its laminated construction uses fabric-reinforced rubber sourced from recycled truck tires, providing a resilient cushion that absorbs impact during loading and unloading operations. The bumper is assembled by laminating the rubber pads between painted structural angles and securing them with 3/4" steel tie rods, ensuring a rigid, stable unit suitable for frequent use in industrial environments. A center support bracket measuring 12" is included with the 96" wide configuration, adding extra rigidity to lengthier installations.
Installation is straightforward, with the option to bolt or weld the unit to the dock, allowing compatibility with existing dock configurations. Width measurements are taken from bolt hole center to bolt hole center (with the noted exception for Type C). For this specific model, the bumper has a 10" tall by 10-1/4" wide rubber face, and it ships as a single unit. The laminated design helps distribute impact forces along the bumper and withstands repeated contact with trailers and pallets at the loading dock.
Practical considerations include choosing the appropriate mounting method (bolting or welding) and confirming the correct bumper width for your dock alignment. Refer to the part number VES1014-6 to ensure you’re replacing or upgrading to the exact unit described, including the center support for added stability on longer installations. This product is categorized under Material Handling and leverages recycled rubber content, aligning with cost-effective, durable dock protection strategies.
