The Vestil V-1136-4.5 Rubber Laminated Dock Bumper is a laminated style bumper designed to protect loading docks and trailers during coupling and unloading. It uses fabric reinforced rubber sourced from recycled truck tires, offering economical, durable impact absorption for high-traffic dock areas. The bumper is assembled by laminating the rubber pads between painted structural angles and securing them with 3/4" steel tie rods, providing a sturdy, boltable or weldable dock protection solution. A center support bracket is included for the 96" wide configuration to enhance rigidity and alignment across the dock face.
This unit lists a 36" height and a width of 7-1/4" with a 4-1/2" rubber depth, aligning with standard dock profiles that require a robust barrier without excessive projection. The width specification is measured from bolt hole center to bolt hole center (with some variations noted for different Type configurations). Bolt holes are either 13/16" or 7/8" in diameter depending on the specific bumper type, which informs compatible mounting hardware. Installation is described as quick and straightforward, with options to bolt or weld the bumper to the dock for a secure, long-lasting fit. Consider verifying the exact hole spacing and diameter on your installation site to ensure proper mounting hardware compatibility.
Ideal use scenarios include protecting dock edges and trailer faces in busy loading environments where impact resistance and economical cost are important. For sizing and packaging, this bumper is supplied as an individual unit with a 36" rubber height and 7-1/4" width, suitable for retrofit onto existing dock structures or new installations where laminated rubber protection is required.
