Benefits of Loading Dock Bumpers
The right loading dock bumper for your facility will depend on your loading dock’s shape and design. Options include rectangular, D-shape, or L and T-shape bumpers. Installing a solution that fits your facility’s requirements will deliver the following benefits:
- Prevent collision damages to your loading dock
- Protect your building by absorbing crash impacts
- Minimize damage to forklifts, trucks, and other equipment when they bump into the loading dock
- Protect cargo passing through the loading dock
Types of Loading Dock Bumpers
Various types of loading dock bumpers are available. The toughest ones can absorb up to 80% of the impact force from a collision. Popular options include:
Laminated Dock Bumpers
Laminated bumpers feature tough tire pads that absorb most crash impacts. The high impact absorption of this bumper type makes it ideal for heavy-duty traffic areas in industrial facilities. Also, laminated dock bumpers are highly durable and ideal for open loading docks with a level approach.
Extra-Length Dock Bumpers
Extra length dock bumpers are a good fit for open loading docks and refrigerated docks. That’s because the bumper’s extra length can cover more space and act as a bottom seal for dock doors.
Extra-Thick Dock Bumpers
These bumpers can be up to 8 to 12 inches thick, which gives them a high absorption rate. It is most suitable for loading docks with decline approaches.
Steel-Faced Dock Bumpers
Steel faced bumpers are among the most wear-resistant, offering four times more protection than standard laminated bumpers. Installing one will help reduce wear from air ride trailers or heavy load collisions at loading docks.
If trailers or other large loading equipment frequently come through your dock doors, consider installing this bumper type.
Molded Dock Bumpers
Molded dock bumpers feature fiber reinforced prime rubber that protects open loading docks, shelters, and dock levelers against abrasion and weather. Because it is prone to chipping and gouging, a molded dock bumper isn’t as durable as other bumper types. Nonetheless, it has the most attractive design, which makes it ideal for improving your facility’s aesthetics.
Extruded Dock Bumpers
Extruded dock bumpers are useful for indoor and outdoor protection of warehouse walls, loading dock doors, and more. The product is available in various designs to meet your unique needs, including D-shape and flat E designs.
