The Vestil 1236-6 Laminated Rubber Dock Bumper is a durable, economical solution designed to protect loading docks and trailers from impact during docking operations. Constructed from fabric-reinforced rubber sourced from recycled truck tires, these bumped units are laminated between painted structural angles and secured with 3/4" steel tie rods, delivering a robust assembly suitable for frequent contact in busy dock environments. A 12" long center support bracket accompanies the 96" wide configuration, enhancing rigidity and load distribution across the bumper face during use.
Installation is straightforward, with bolting or welding options available to fit your dock profile. When determining fit, note that width is defined by bolt hole center to bolt hole center for most variants, while Type C uses actual bolt hole center width. Bolt holes are 13/16" in diameter for Type A & C bumpers and 7/8" for Type B bumpers, which informs mounting hardware selection. The product is produced under the Vestil brand and carries the manufacturer part number VES1236-6, aligning with standard material-handling equipment aimed at dock protection and trailer contact surfaces.
Suitable for warehouses and distribution centers that require a cost-effective, retrofit-friendly bumper solution, this laminated rubber bumper is designed to absorb and dissipate impact, helping protect structural components and trailers. Consider the width and mounting arrangement of your dock opening to ensure a proper fit, and plan for installation methods—bolting or welding—to achieve a secure, long-lasting attachment. Each unit is sold as an individual bumper, with a height of 12 inches and a width of 32.5 inches (per the documented rubber dimensions), ensuring coverage along a typical dock face.
