Vestil laminated rubber dock bumper designed to protect docks and trailers during loading operations. The 1214-4.5F model features a laminated construction that sandwiches fabric-reinforced rubber, sourced from recycled truck tires, between painted structural components and secured with 3/4-inch steel tie rods. A 12-inch-long center support bracket is included for the 96-inch-wide bumpers, contributing to structural rigidity and load distribution at the dock edge. Installation is straightforward, with mounting possible by bolting or welding to the dock, depending on site requirements.
The bumper is specified with an overall height of 12 inches and a width of 10 inches of rubber, reflecting its compact profile suitable for standard dock edges. Bolt holes are drilled as part of the unit, with hole diameters varying by bumper type (A, B, C) and a 13/16-inch or 7/8-inch diameter option corresponding to each variant. This construction leverages recycled material in a durable, fabric-reinforced rubber composition, providing a cost-effective solution for impact absorption and dock protection. The 1214-4.5F designation identifies the 12 by 14 by 4-1/2 inch footprint in the product line, with the width measured via bolt hole center spacing for most configurations (the exception is Type C).
For applications involving loading docks and trailer dock edges, this bumper offers a practical balance of protection and installation flexibility. Consider on-site clearance, bolt-wearing patterns, and welding capability when planning installation. Packaging is listed as per unit, allowing you to order individual bumpers to match dock dimensions and traffic volume. Maintenance typically involves inspection of the rubber surface and fasteners for wear, and periodic re-tightening of mounting hardware as part of standard dock maintenance.
