Vestil 1212-4.5 Rubber Laminated Dock Bumper

Product Description

The VESTIL 1212-4.5 is a rubber laminated dock bumper designed to protect loading dock faces and vehicle rear ends during trailer approach and departure. Measuring 12 inches wide by 12 inches high with a 4-inch projection and an overall depth of 4.5 inches, this bumper uses a laminated rubber construction to absorb repeated impact loads from truck and trailer contact. It mounts via a bolt-on configuration with four mounting holes, each 0.813 inches in diameter, allowing for secure attachment to concrete or steel dock faces. At 34 pounds, the unit is heavy enough for stable mounting while remaining manageable for a single installer.

This bumper is suited for commercial and industrial loading dock applications including distribution centers, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. It performs in both new dock construction and retrofit installations where existing bumpers have worn through or delaminated. The bolt-on mount makes it compatible with standard dock face framing and concrete block walls. Installers typically use this type of bumper at truck-height dock positions where trailer impact frequency is moderate to high.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a maintenance technician or dock equipment installer. Mark and drill anchor points into the dock face to match the four-hole bolt pattern before mounting. Ensure the dock face surface is clean and structurally sound before fastening. Follow applicable facility safety protocols and lock out any powered dock levelers or vehicle restraints in the work zone before beginning installation.
