The Vestil 1018-6 Laminated Rubber Dock Bumper is a durable, economical protection solution for loading docks and trailers. These laminated bumpers are crafted from fabric reinforced rubber sourced from recycled truck tires, and are constructed by laminating the rubber pads between painted structural angles, then securing them with 3/4" steel tie rods. A center support bracket, 12 inches long, is included with the 96" wide bumpers to help maintain alignment and rigidity during use.
Installation is straightforward, with bolt-down or welding options available to suit existing dock configurations. Note that width measurements reflect bolt hole center-to-center spacing (except for Type C), while bolt holes are either 13/16" or 7/8" in diameter depending on bumper type. This design emphasizes economical yet effective impact absorption and protection for dock edges and trailer lips, helping to reduce damage from vehicle impacts in busy loading environments.
Ideal applications include standard dock areas where laminated, fabric reinforced rubber bumpers are appropriate for protecting dock edges and trailer corrugations. When selecting and installing, consider the specific width and bolt hole requirements to ensure proper fit and secure mounting. Each bumper is sold as an individual unit, with the listed dimensions indicating the rubber face size and the mounting footprint. Maintenance typically involves periodic inspection of bolts and hardware to preserve alignment and integrity of the assembly.
