Vestil VES1036-4.5 Laminated Rubber Dock Bumper is a practical solution for protecting docks and trailers from impact during loading and unloading. The bumper assembly combines a fabric reinforced rubber core, sourced from recycled truck tires, laminated between painted structural angles and fastened with 3/4 inch steel tie rods. A 12-inch center support bracket is included on the 96-inch wide configurations to help maintain alignment and rigidity when installed. This construction provides a robust yet economical option for safeguarding dock edges, trailers, and equipment in busy material-handling environments.
The laminated design of these bumpers helps absorb and dissipate impact energy while the reinforced rubber material offers resistance to wear from routine contact with docked trailers. The units are designed for straightforward installation by bolting or welding to the dock, with clear dimensional references used to determine mounting compatibility. Width is measured from bolt hole center to bolt hole center, with specific notes for certain configurations. The 10 inch height and 32 inch width (as specified in the product data) indicate the bumper’s footprint and the surface area available to engage incoming trailers.
For practical use, consider how bolt hole spacing and overall bumper length align with your loading dock’s curb, edge profiles, and trailer trailers’ bumping patterns. The package size is listed as Each, simplifying ordering for individual docking stations. As always, verify mounting hardware availability and consult installation guidelines to ensure a secure, properly aligned installation that maintains the bumper’s effectiveness through repeated dock-side contact.
