Standard Rubber Dock Bumper 450 x 250 x 100mm with Fixings | SBR Rubber | HGV Loading Bay Buffer

Reversing HGVs chip a bare concrete dock a little more every week, and the trailer takes the same knock. This solid rubber dock bumper gives them something to stop against instead. It measures 450 x 250 x 100mm, weighs 11kg and bolts to your dock face through two recessed holes, with the fixings included in the price. It is our best-selling dock bumper, and most orders are for two or more, because most doors take one on each side. If you run a warehouse, distribution yard or goods-in bay and want a straightforward bumper that goes straight on the wall, start here.

Why this bumper works

Fixings in the price. You do not need to source anchors separately before the job can start. If your wall needs a particular type of fixing, call us before you order.

The bolts sit below the surface. Each hole is 75mm wide for the first 50mm, then 28mm through to the wall. The bolt head and washer sit down inside the recess, with rubber standing in front of them, rather than on the face a trailer touches.

Two fixings, simple to mark out. The holes run in one line, 250mm apart and 100mm in from each end. There are no plates to assemble, so it is one block to lift up, mark out and bolt on. When it has worn, undo two fixings and fit a new one in the same holes.

Stand-off you can adjust. On its own the block stands 100mm off the wall. Rubber packers behind it bring that out to 110, 115, 120 or 150mm, so you can line it up with other bumpers on the dock while the rubber can still compress.

Room to upgrade. Add the galvanised front plate and the steel takes the rubbing while the bumper behind it compresses to absorb the impact, which can greatly extend its life on a busy door.

No compression or load figure is published for this line. If your specification needs one, call us before you order.

Where it is used

Use it on concrete dock faces beside dock levellers, on raised loading platforms at distribution centres, at goods-in doors in factories and on walls that reversing vehicles keep catching. Fit one each side of a door where trailers back in square. Orders of four or more are common.

Specifications

Parts that fit this bumper

Choose these from the Size menu at the top of the page. You can order them with a bumper, or on their own to adjust or repair a bumper you already have.

Want a plain flat plate instead of a spring one? The 450 x 250 x 15mm back plate is sold separately. Bumpers and bolts fixed to a back plate are quicker to replace than those fixed straight into concrete.

Is this the right bumper?

Measure before you order. You need 450 x 250mm of clear, sound surface, in a position that lines up with the part of the trailer that reaches the dock first.

Fitting and care

Mark out from the dimension drawing in the gallery, then offer the bumper up and check the holes before you drill. On sound concrete, a bumper this size is normally fixed with two M20 x 220mm through anchor studs and heavy washers. Allow longer fixings if you fit a thick packer behind it. Have a competent installer confirm that the wall and anchors suit the loads at your dock, because a bumper can only pass on what its fixing point can take.

Check the rubber and fixings during routine dock inspections, and replace the bumper once it is torn or worn back towards the bolt heads. A dock bumper protects the building and vehicle from routine contact. It is not a vehicle restraint and does not replace wheel chocks or a banksman.
