Vestil M-4-18 Half-oval Fender Bumper 18 in Bolt-on

Product Description

The VESTIL M-4-18 is an extruded synthetic rubber half-oval fender bumper designed to protect dock faces, columns, and building edges from vehicle and equipment impact. Measuring 18 inches wide by 4.5 inches high with a 4-inch projection, it absorbs and deflects contact loads before they reach the structure behind it. The bumper is molded to a Durometer 70A hardness, giving it firm resistance to deformation while retaining enough flex to absorb repeated impact. Two bolt-on mounting holes with a 0.875-inch diameter make installation straightforward with standard hardware. Licensed contractors, dock installers, and facilities maintenance crews are the typical installers for this product.

The M-4-18 is suited for loading dock perimeters, warehouse columns, parking structure supports, and any fixed surface regularly exposed to forklift traffic or truck contact. The B-shape cross-section distributes impact force across a broad face, reducing point loading on the mounting substrate. Its black extruded rubber construction holds up in outdoor and indoor environments where oil, moisture, and repeated abrasion are common. This bumper is a direct bolt-on solution that does not require adhesives or specialty fasteners.

Key Features

• Extruded synthetic rubber construction for consistent cross-section and long service life
• Durometer 70A hardness balances impact absorption with structural rigidity
• 4-inch projection stands off from the mounting surface to intercept contact before the structure
• Two bolt-on mounting holes at 0.875-inch diameter for secure, hardware-based attachment
• B-shape profile distributes load across the full bumper face
• Black color resists visible soiling in high-traffic dock and warehouse environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style bolt-on replacement or new-installation bumper for loading dock faces, warehouse columns, and fixed structural surfaces subject to repeated vehicle or equipment contact.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by dock equipment technicians or facilities maintenance staff familiar with bolt-on hardware anchoring. Ensure the mounting substrate is structurally sound and capable of bearing impact loads before fastening. Use appropriately rated bolts through the 0.875-inch mounting holes and torque to the fastener manufacturer's specification for the substrate material. Inspect mounting hardware periodically for loosening due to repeated impact cycles.
