Vestil 1018-4.5 Laminated Dock Bumper Bolt-on

Product Description

The VESTIL 1018-4.5 is a laminated rubber dock bumper designed to protect loading dock faces and vehicle rear panels during trailer spotting and loading operations. Built from laminated rubber construction, it absorbs repeated impact loads and resists compression set over time. The bumper mounts via a bolt-on configuration using four mounting holes, each with a 0.813-inch diameter opening, and projects 4.5 inches from the dock face to create a consistent standoff buffer. At 40 pounds, it provides solid mass-backed impact resistance. This unit is installed by facilities maintenance technicians, dock equipment contractors, and commercial construction crews.

The 1018-4.5 is suited for commercial and industrial loading dock applications where repeated trailer contact requires durable, low-maintenance protection. Typical installations include warehouse receiving doors, distribution center docks, and manufacturing facility loading bays. The 18-inch width and 10-inch height profile make it a standard-format bumper appropriate for most full-size trailer door frames. The black rubber finish blends with standard dock equipment and does not require painting or coating after installation.

Key Features

• Laminated rubber construction absorbs repeated impact without cracking or delaminating
• 4.5-inch overall depth provides consistent standoff between dock face and trailer
• Bolt-on mount with four pre-drilled holes at 0.813-inch diameter for straightforward installation
• 18-inch wide by 10-inch high profile fits standard dock door frames
• Black rubber color requires no finishing after installation
• 40-pound unit weight contributes to impact-absorbing mass

Compatibility

Designed as a bolt-on replacement or new-installation dock bumper for standard commercial and industrial loading dock faces accepting a 4-hole bolt pattern with 0.813-inch mounting hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by dock equipment technicians or commercial maintenance crews. Prior to installation, verify that the dock face substrate can support the load and that fastener hardware is rated for the expected impact forces. Use appropriately sized lag bolts or through-bolts matched to the 0.813-inch hole diameter and the dock wall material. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and level before securing the bumper to prevent uneven projection.
