Articulated curtainsiders, double-deck trailers, refrigerated units, skeletal container flats, and rigid HGVs all arrive at the same dock doors — and their trailer bed heights span a range of 400mm or more. Shorter bumpers installed at the wrong height leave the top or bottom of the dock door frame unprotected, leading to structural damage from off-centre trailer contacts. The 750mm extra tall bumper eliminates this vulnerability entirely, covering the full practical range of trailer bed heights without requiring repositioning or additional bumper installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e750mm Extra Tall Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e — Industry-leading vertical coverage accommodates the complete range of UK HGV trailer bed heights in a single bumper installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for articulated curtainsiders, double-deck trailers, refrigerated units, skeletal container flats, and rigid HGVs at the same dock position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStructural Steel Back Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — Distributes impact load evenly across the full mounting face, preventing pull-away failure and protecting anchor fixings from concentrated stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural\/SBR Rubber Compound\u003c\/strong\u003e — UV-stabilised and oil-resistant;

For most UK mixed-fleet operations, position the lower edge of the bumper at approximately 700–800mm from dock floor level, placing the bumper centre at approximately 1,075–1,175mm — this places the bumper face across the most common UK trailer bed height range of 900mm to 1,400mm from ground. For facilities predominantly serving container flats or double-deck trailers, adjust the vertical position accordingly. Use the steel back plate as a drilling template. Drill anchor holes to the correct depth for M20 anchor bolts into solid concrete or masonry. Insert anchor bolts and torque to specification. Install bumpers in pairs, symmetrically positioned either side of the dock door opening. After installation, verify contact with several different vehicle types to confirm optimal vertical positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum trailer bed height variation this bumper covers?\u003c\/strong\u003e With the bumper positioned at typical installation height (lower edge 700mm from dock floor), the 750mm face covers from 700mm to 1,450mm from ground — accommodating virtually all standard UK HGV trailer bed heights in a single installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this bumper suitable for double-deck trailers?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Double-deck trailer structures extend higher than standard curtainsiders. The 750mm profile specifically addresses this requirement, providing protection at heights where a 450mm or 600mm bumper would leave the dock door structure exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many do I need per dock door?\u003c\/strong\u003e Two bumpers per dock door is industry best practice, installed symmetrically either side of the door opening to ensure balanced impact load distribution and prevent twisting forces on door frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan these be installed on brick as well as concrete dock faces?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, provided the brickwork is in sound condition. For older brick dock faces, consult a structural engineer to verify the wall is capable of supporting the anchor load. Concrete is the preferred substrate for maximum anchor strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur 750mm extra tall rubber dock bumper is the flagship product in our comprehensive range of \u003cstrong\u003eUK dock bumpers\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eloading bay protection systems\u003c\/strong\u003e.
