Dock bumpers and their benefits

No matter if you have low traffic dock or a bustling hub of activity, there is always the risk of damage when a truck hits the building. Not only can it cause damage to the vehicle but in the worst cases the building could sustain serious damage as well. One of the best ways to prevent this is with dock bumpers. In fact, dock bumpers can absorb around 80% of the impact force when there is trailer impact. Since these are such an important line of defense, it is important that you choose the right type for the job.

Types of dock bumpers:

-Laminated dock bumpers have a mid-range of wear capacity and have flexibility in thickness, length and height.

-Steel faced dock bumpers have the greatest wear capabilities – up to four times the protection of a laminated bumper. You can make your decision based on how busy your dock is, or how likely it is that there would be a collision involving any type of trailer or loading dock equipment.

-Molded dock bumpers are the most attractive style but they are easier to chip or group than other type of bumpers.
