Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the 450 x 250 x 100mm size is suitable for my loading bay?
Check the available mounting space on your dock face and compare it with the bumper dimensions. This standard size is designed to suit most typical loading bays and dock levellers, but you should ensure there is sufficient flat area to mount the bumper securely and that its height aligns with the expected impact zone of your vehicles.
Can this dock bumper be installed on both concrete and steel surfaces?
Yes, the bumper can be mounted to both concrete and steel dock faces or backing plates using the supplied fixings, provided the substrate is sound and capable of taking the required load. For unusual substrates or heavily damaged surfaces, additional fixing methods or repair work may be necessary.
Does the rubber dock bumper require regular maintenance?
The bumper is designed to be low maintenance, but periodic visual inspections are recommended. Check for excessive wear, tearing or loose fixings, especially in high-traffic loading bays. Replace the bumper or tighten fixings as needed to maintain effective protection and safety.
