Dock bumpers are durable protective components that prevent loading docks from damage caused by impact while increasing the longevity of the loading dock. Dock bumpers cushion contact with trucks, containers and carts to prevent costly damage.
They are made from durable materials like molded and extruded rubber, with some models featuring steel faces for added protection. Dock bumpers are used in shipping facilities, warehouses, and other logistics management locations that utilize high-traffic loading docks.
The Benefits of Dock Bumpers
Bumpers are a necessity for any facility that operates a loading dock, for several reasons:
- They prevent semi-trailers from making contact, or hitting, your building
- They are engineered to absorb shock and collisions
- Quality bumpers will last for years, making them a sound investment
- They can prevent accidents if your docks are at irregular approach grade
While there are many benefits of utilizing bumpers to prevent costly damage to your facility and trucks, we also provide additional loading dock shelter services for increased safety at your facility.
