The Vestil 1230-6 Laminated Rubber Dock Bumper is a durable, economical protection solution for loading docks and trailers. Constructed from fabric reinforced rubber sourced from recycled truck tires, these bumpers are laminated between painted structural angles and secured with 3/4" steel tie rods to provide a solid, reinforced barrier at the dock edge. A 12" center support bracket is included on 96" wide assemblies to enhance installation rigidity. The design emphasizes straightforward mounting, with the option to bolt or weld to the dock, helping to accommodate a range of dock configurations.
Key construction details and features contribute to reliable performance in high-traffic loading environments. The bumper’s rubber height is 12" and width is 26-1/2" for the standard assembly, with the 6" width specification noted for this model. Bolt holes are 13/16" for Type A & C bumpers and 7/8" for Type B bumpers, which impacts compatibility with existing mounting hardware and dock profiles. The laminated configuration distributes impact forces across the panel, while the fabric reinforcement adds tear resistance and durability under repeated impacts from forklifts and trailers.
Practical considerations for use include ensuring proper alignment with the dock face and confirming the mounting method (bolting or welding) aligns with facility standards. This model is part of a material handling lineup designed to protect structural dock elements and trailer doors from impact damage, extending the life of dock equipment and surrounding infrastructure. When ordering, note the specific width and bolt-hole layout to match your dock dimensions and mounting hardware, and plan for installation through standard shop fabrication or on-site welding if required.
