Dock Bumper Capabilities:
Laminated rubber dock bumpers are made from heavy-duty rubber pads from recycled bias-ply bus and truck tires. Our laminated dock bumpers are woven on ¾” steel rods and closed under pressure exceeding 1,500 pounds.
This process creates dock bumpers that can withstand years of wear – providing the greatest amount of protection even with consistent use. Our dock bumpers withstand more than just punishment from trucks, forklifts, and other loading devices. Our rubber dock bumpers also perform through any weather conditions and can endure years of weathering.

Molded Loading Dock Bumpers
Molded rubber loading dock bumpers provide great protection for any light to medium traffic truck door – making a clean, safe, and attractive dock area. Our lineup of rubber dock bumpers are manufactured from fiber-reinforced prime rubber containing nylon and polyester. Molded into one piece for optimal strength, molded dock bumpers will not warp, rust, rot, or harden. All models have pre-drilled, countersunk mounting holes for easy installation, and are drilled to accept 3/4″ anchor bolts. These are the direct replacement bumpers for Edge-O-Dock Levelers (EOD) bumper blocks and most semi-truck trailers.
