Vestil 1218-6 Laminated Rubber Dock Bumper is designed to protect loading docks and trailers from impact during material handling. The bumper assembly combines fabric reinforced rubber, sourced from recycled truck tires, laminated between painted structural angles and held together with 3/4-inch steel tie rods. A 12-inch center support bracket is included with the 96-inch wide configuration, providing added rigidity for durable dockside protection. Quick and straightforward installation is supported by bolting or welding the units to the dock, with width measured by bolt hole center to center (specific variations apply to certain types).
This laminated design emphasizes economical protection suitable for frequent docking operations, helping to absorb and distribute impact energy across the bumper surface. The component is built to withstand repeated contact with trailers and pallets without relying on heavy, single-piece construction. The bumper’s dimensions reflect a practical footprint for typical loading bays, with a 12-inch tall rubber height and a 14-1/2-inch width enabling compatibility with standard dock equipment and installation layouts. The 6-inch width variant (as described in the model) aligns with specific mounting and structural considerations noted in the manufacturer guidance.
When selecting and installing this bumper, verify the mounting method (bolting or welding) and ensure alignment with bolt hole patterns and dimensions for your dock structure. Proper installation and periodic inspection of the tie rods and bracket can help maintain effective impact protection over time. The packaging is listed as “Each,” indicating individual unit pricing for the model, which is practical for modular dock protection updates or incremental replacements.
