This one lets the trailer slide. A smooth yellow UHMWPE plate sits in a galvanised steel back plate, 765mm long and only 66mm deep, so the HGV backs in close, the gap to the trailer stays short and the back of the vehicle can move up and down along the face. It is highly visible for the driver, and when the plate is worn you change the plate, not the fixings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/shallow-dock-bumper-765-x-270-x-66mm-yellow-uhmwpe-face-technical-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Technical drawing of the low profile dock bumper 765 x 270 x 66mm with six hole positions, end view and the yellow UHMWPE front plate lifted out of its galvanised steel back plate\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a low friction face on a long back plate works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe trailer can slide instead of grabbing.\u003c\/strong\u003e UHMWPE is durable and has a very low coefficient of friction, so the back of the trailer can slide along the face as its height changes during loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe stand-off stays short.\u003c\/strong\u003e Back plate and front plate together measure 66mm from the wall to the face.

Going shallower brings the trailer closer, so check that the trailers you handle still clear the leveller and the building.

The drawing shows the lower end of the back plate closed, so fit that end at the bottom and the plate can lift out from the top. Mark out from the drawing above, offer the back plate up and check the holes against it before you drill, then fix through all six holes into sound concrete at the height your trailers make contact. Have a competent installer confirm that the wall and anchors suit the loads at your dock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the plate and fixings during routine dock inspections, and change the plate before it wears back to the steel. A bumper protects the building and the vehicle from routine docking contact.
