What Is a Loading Dock Bumper?
Loading dock bumpers are safety devices used to prevent collisions and damage when trucks or trailers back into docks.
Commonly found in warehouses, logistics centers, and similar facilities, these bumpers are usually made of rubber or plastic and attached to the dock walls. They absorb the impact as trucks back up to the dock, minimizing damage to both the truck and the dock and ensuring the safety of workers and cargo.
Some loading dock bumpers feature reinforcements or pneumatic systems to better absorb impacts and enhance durability.
