Global Industrial B53970 Molded Dock Bumper 18x8 Black

Product Description

The GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL B53970 is a rectangular molded dock bumper designed to protect loading docks and truck beds from repeated heavy impact. Manufactured from fiber-reinforced prime rubber containing nylon and polyester, this bumper is built for long-term durability in high-traffic dock environments. It measures 18 inches wide, 8 inches tall, and 2 inches deep, and weighs 15.21 pounds. Each unit comes with pre-drilled 5/8-inch diameter countersunk mounting holes sized for 1/2-inch diameter anchor bolts. Installation hardware is sold separately. Facilities maintenance technicians and dock equipment installers are the typical trades for this application.

This bumper is suited for commercial and industrial loading dock installations where trucks and trailers make repeated contact with dock faces or truck bed edges. The rectangular profile and molded rubber construction distribute impact energy across the bumper face, reducing wear on dock structures over time. Its black color provides visibility while resisting weathering and abrasion in outdoor and semi-outdoor dock environments. It is sold individually and installed as a single unit or in multiples depending on dock configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by facilities maintenance technicians or dock equipment contractors. Before mounting, ensure the dock face surface is clean, flat, and structurally sound. Use appropriately rated 1/2-inch diameter anchor bolts through the countersunk mounting holes; hardware is not included and must be sourced separately. Follow applicable local building codes and load ratings when selecting anchoring hardware for the substrate material.
