The Vestil model VES1212-4.5 is a laminated rubber dock bumper designed to absorb impact at loading docks and trailer interfaces. It combines fabric reinforced rubber made from recycled truck tires with a sturdy laminated construction, providing a cost-effective solution for protecting dock edges, trailers, and surrounding structures during high-traffic loading and unloading operations.
Construction details include a 12" tall bumper profile with an 8" width, laminated between painted structural angles and held together by 3/4" steel tie rods. A 12" center support bracket is included with the 96" wide bumpers, facilitating straightforward installation by bolting or welding to the dock. The design accounts for common mounting configurations by including bolt holes of specified diameters and establishing width based on bolt hole centerlines, with noted exceptions for certain types. These characteristics help ensure a reliable alignment and load transfer at impact points.
This bumper is suitable for facilities seeking economical, reinforced protection for dock edges and trailer docks in material-handling environments. When selecting a bumper, consider dock width, mounting method, and whether a 96" wide, laminated assembly matches the application. The package is listed as a unit-based dimension, with a 12" height, 8" width, and per-unit packaging; hardware and exact hole specifications should be confirmed against the installation plan and local codes during installation.
