Combined with the 110mm projection depth and UHMWPE's outstanding impact resistance, chemical stability, and cold temperature performance, this is the definitive specification for mixed-fleet, high-volume operations that require maximum durability with minimum maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e760mm Height: The Universal UHMWPE Solution for Mixed Fleet Operations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UK trailer fleet is more diverse than at any point in its history. Alongside traditional 13.6m articulated curtainsiders, loading bays now receive refrigerated double-deck trailers, skeletal container flats, curtain-sided rigids, temperature-controlled pharmaceutical trailers, and increasingly, purpose-built electric vehicle platform bodies with different floor height profiles. A 760mm UHMWPE bumper positioned at the correct height provides bumper contact coverage across this entire spectrum of vehicle types. At 110mm depth, it provides significantly more energy absorption than 66mm alternatives, handling the higher impact energies of heavier and faster-moving modern trailers. The UHMWPE material ensures this performance is maintained across decades of service in all UK weather and operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e760mm Tall UHMWPE Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e — The largest standard profile in the UHMWPE range;

For most mixed-fleet UK operations, position the lower edge at approximately 680–750mm from dock floor level, placing the centre at approximately 1,060–1,130mm — covering trailer bed heights from approximately 680mm to 1,440mm from ground. For facilities where double-deck trailer operations dominate, adjust upward accordingly. Use the pre-drilled fixing plate as a drilling template. At 760mm height and 110mm depth, this is a substantial bumper requiring two operatives for safe handling during installation. Drill M20 anchor holes to the required depth in solid concrete or masonry. Ensure anchor bolts are installed to the correct embedment depth and torqued to specification. Install bumpers in pairs, symmetrically positioned either side of the dock door opening. Verify correct positioning by recording contact with several different vehicle types after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the 750mm rubber extra tall and this 760mm UHMWPE tall bumper?\u003c\/strong\u003e The dimensions are very similar, but the materials are fundamentally different. The 760mm UHMWPE bumper offers superior cold temperature performance, better chemical resistance, higher abrasion resistance, and a self-lubricating surface. For ambient operations, both are suitable; for cold stores, food facilities, or high-frequency docking, the UHMWPE specification is significantly preferable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this bumper be installed on older warehouse dock faces?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, provided the underlying structure is sound. Older brick dock faces should be assessed by a structural engineer to confirm wall condition and anchor capacity before installing a heavy bumper of this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 760mm version significantly heavier than the 450mm UHMWPE?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — UHMWPE has a density of approximately 0.94 g\/cm³. At 760 x 270 x 110mm, this bumper is a heavy component requiring two operatives and appropriate manual handling equipment for safe installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Tall UHMWPE Dock Bumper is part of our comprehensive range of \u003cstrong\u003eUHMWPE plastic dock bumpers\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003etall loading bay bumpers\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eheavy-duty dock protection systems\u003c\/strong\u003e.
