Built from premium Natural\/SBR rubber compound, it absorbs direct impact from reversing trucks, protecting your steelwork, dock edges, and building fabric from expensive structural damage — all at the most competitive price point in its class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose This Economy Dock Bumper?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen cost efficiency and reliable protection are your priorities, this compact rubber dock bumper delivers exactly what busy loading operations demand. Unlike lightweight alternatives that crack, split or deform after minimal use, our Natural\/SBR rubber construction maintains its shape and energy-absorption properties through thousands of impact cycles. The 100mm depth provides effective standoff distance between vehicle and dock structure, while the 250 × 330mm face area presents an ideal target profile for HGV drivers reversing into position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Natural\/SBR Rubber Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — UV-resistant and weatherproof compound maintains performance in all outdoor UK conditions, from summer heat to winter frost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 100mm Depth Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e — Allows HGVs to park closer to the loading bay for faster, more efficient loading and unloading operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e250 × 330mm Impact Face\u003c\/strong\u003e — Large contact area distributes impact force evenly, preventing dock edge stress concentrations and structural damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThrough-Bolt Fixing System\u003c\/strong\u003e — Secure bolt-direct-to-dock installation creates a permanent, vibration-proof mount that won't loosen over time (fixings not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Front or Back Plate Required\u003c\/strong\u003e — Simple, clean design reduces installation time and upfront cost without compromising protective performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7kg Lightweight Unit\u003c\/strong\u003e — Easy to handle, position and install with minimal tools or labour — one-person installation possible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold Individually\u003c\/strong\u003e — Order exactly the quantity your loading bay requires with no minimum order constraints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong Service Life\u003c\/strong\u003e — Natural rubber elasticity ensures the bumper returns to shape after each impact, delivering consistent protection year after year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight (H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e330mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth (W)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDepth (D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural\/SBR Rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFixing Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThrough-bolt direct to dock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFixings Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo (M20 anchor bolts recommended)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFront Plate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone (economy design)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBack Plate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone (economy design)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight to medium traffic loading bays\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSold As\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividual unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal Applications \u0026amp; Use Cases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis economy rubber dock bumper is the perfect choice for a wide range of commercial and industrial loading environments:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall to medium warehouse loading docks\u003c\/strong\u003e receiving regular but not continuous HGV deliveries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetail distribution centres\u003c\/strong\u003e where lighter-weight vehicles such as 7.5-tonne and 18-tonne rigid trucks are the primary traffic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold storage facilities\u003c\/strong\u003e where the rubber compound's flexibility in low temperatures ensures year-round protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing plant despatch areas\u003c\/strong\u003e protecting dock steelwork from forklift-loaded vehicle impacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgricultural and rural distribution depots\u003c\/strong\u003e where budget-conscious protection without compromising build quality is essential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement installations\u003c\/strong\u003e where worn or damaged dock bumpers need quick, cost-effective renewal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling this dock bumper requires basic tools and minimal time. Mark the fixing hole positions on the dock face at the correct height to intercept the vehicle's impact zone. Drill clearance holes through the dock structure. Pass M20 × 220mm through-anchor bolts (not supplied — available separately) through the rubber bumper and dock. Secure with 50mm OD washers and tighten nuts to a solid, vibration-resistant torque. For optimum protection, install a pair of bumpers positioned to align with the vehicle's rear subframe or chassis rail contact points. Multiple bumpers can be staggered vertically to accommodate vehicles of different heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat fixings do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e We recommend M20 × 220mm through-anchor studs with 50mm OD × 26mm ID × 3mm washers for this bumper.
