What is the dock bumper?

Trucks

trucks often load and interpret goods on a loading dock, an increased entrance that connects to the truck bed floor. When the truck backs up to the Dock, it is likely that between the truck and the dock itself, it potentially leads to damage to the dock and damage to the truck. In order to prevent such contact and subsequent damage, the lower lip is installed by the bumper dock. This dock is usually made of plastic or rubber mounted on a metal frame that absorbs the shock from the contact between the truck and the dock. The rubber slats are compressed together in the metal frame to ensure that they do not be released or not bend, and the metal frame is mounted in the concrete of the loading sheck using delayed screws or other heavy security devices. The bumper usually runs after the entire length of the dock and can even partially spread on the sides of the opening of the dock, depending on the orientation of the dock about the truck.

6 L -shaped bumpers are common because they can be mounted in the corners of the opening dock. Square bumpers can also be mounted along the bottom of the loading dock or on the sides. They tend to be lower profile than bumpers made of slats, although they can be equally efficient and durable.

The car itself can also contain a dock bumper or a set of docks made of metal. These bumpers are designed to protect the truck only and can cause damage to the loading dock when they contact. The bumpers mounted on the truck are designed to align with the loading docks of different heights and keep the rear gate or the truck to damage the dock.

Boat docks also use the dock bumpers to protect the hulls when they come into a slip or dock. These bumpers are usually made of rubber because the rubber tends to withstand water damage and in some cases even direct sunlight. RightThe amenities are tied to dock and come into contact with the ship's fuselage when they sit next to the dock.
