What are Dock Bumpers

Dock bumpers are a must have for your loading docks. They protect both the truck and loading dock from damage. Damage can cost thousands of dollars as well as cause injuries, something that we do not want.

Bumpers are typically installed on the edge of your docks or the sides of your warehouse building. They are easy and quick to install.

The first step is to know what kind of dock bumper you need.

First we have our laminated dock bumpers, these are padded with reinforced rubber and fabric. They are designed for heavy loading dock use. The laminated dock bumper is heavy duty.

Then we have a lighter duty one which are the extruded dock bumpers. These bumpers are solid rubber and attach to the wall or dock. It is for when you need a bit of protection. For example, you want to protect a wall from carts running into it.

Our last option is the molded bumpers. These are designed to fit exact specifications. They mount easily to wood, steel, and concrete.

Now lets get into our most popular bumper.

Behind me are our standard dock bumper. They are excellent for places with heavy dock traffic. With pressures exceeding 150 pounds, and absorbing 80% of impact these bumpers are extremely durable. They work in all weather conditions so you do not have to worry about the change of season with these bumpers. We have a 4 ½ inch wide model or the 6 inch wide one.
