The Vestil 1030-6 Laminated Rubber Dock Bumper is designed to shield loading docks and trailers from impact while providing an economical, durable solution for dock protection. These laminated bumpers are constructed from fabric-reinforced rubber sourced from recycled truck tires, offering a resilient barrier that can absorb contact at the dock edge. The bumper assembly is laminated between painted structural angles and secured with 3/4-inch steel tie rods, with a 12-inch center support bracket included for the 96-inch-wide configuration. This design enables straightforward installation, either by bolting or welding the unit to the dock, helping to minimize downtime during retrofits or replacements.
Key construction details include the material composition and the laminated assembly method, which contribute to the bumper’s rigidity and performance under typical dock-traffic scenarios. The 10-inch height and 26-1/4 inch width (dimensions specified for this model) define the protective footprint, while bolt-hole dimensions and hole sizes differ by bumper type, affecting mounting compatibility. The specified width is measured from bolt-hole center to bolt-hole center, with variations noted for Type C units. These measurements matter for ensuring a proper fit within existing dock openings or structural supports, and for planning alignment with trailer contact zones during daily operations.
Ideal use cases involve standard loading dock environments where forklifts and trailers repeatedly make contact with the dock face. When planning installation, verify mounting method (bolting or welding) aligns with dock construction and ensure that the 12-inch center bracket is accommodated in the chosen configuration.
