Frequently Asked Questions

Is this shallow dock bumper suitable for all types of loading bays?

The bumper is suitable for most standard loading bays, including those with dock levellers and vehicle access points. Its shallow depth makes it particularly useful where space is limited or where a low projection is required, but it should be selected as part of a dock protection system appropriate to your specific site and vehicle types.

How is the 465 x 270 x 66mm dock bumper installed?

The bumper is designed to be surface mounted to a suitable structural backing, such as a dock wall or dock leveller frame. Fixings and backing plates are typically selected to suit the substrate and loading conditions and are usually installed by a competent maintenance team or contractor following site safety procedures.

Can this bumper be used as a replacement for existing dock bumpers?

Yes, this shallow dock bumper can often be used as a replacement where the dimensions and profile are suitable for the existing mounting points or backing plates. Always check the size, fixing pattern and projection requirements of your current installation to ensure compatibility before replacing.
