Description
Solid Rubber Dock Bumper
1. Maximum Impact Protection
- Specially engineered to handle direct truck and trailer impacts during docking.
- Provides a cushioned barrier between reversing vehicles and fixed structures.
- Prevents costly concrete wall cracks, dock leveller bending, and steel frame distortion.
- Ensures vehicle safety by reducing damage to truck bumpers, chassis, and tailgates.
2. High-Density Vulcanized Rubber Material
- Made from solid industrial-grade vulcanized rubber.
- High compression resistance: retains shape even under 40-ton truck pressure.
- Offers elastic rebound — absorbs energy, then returns to original form.
- Outperforms hollow bumpers and low-density rubber, which collapse under stress.
3. Superior Shock Absorption & Energy Dissipation
- Each bumper acts as a kinetic energy absorber.
- When a truck hits the dock, the rubber compresses, then spreads the force evenly.
- Minimizes structural vibration transfer to walls, reducing long-term fatigue damage.
- Improves driver docking safety by creating a soft yet firm stop point.
4. Exceptional Durability Under Heavy Use
- Built for high-frequency operations (warehouses, ports, supermarkets).
- Resistant to:
- Abrasion – friction from repeated truck docking.
- Tearing – sharp edges or metal corners.
- Splitting – continuous compression cycles.
- Can endure tens of thousands of impact cycles without losing performance.
5. All-Weather & Climate Endurance
- Specially formulated to handle tropical Borneo conditions:
- High humidity – prevents swelling or weakening.
- Heavy rainfall – water-resistant material prevents absorption.
- UV exposure – rubber compounds resist sunlight cracking.
- Salt-laden marine air – ideal for ports in Kota Kinabalu, Bintulu, Muara, Kuala Belait.
- Ensures year-round performance in Sabah, Sarawak & Brunei.
6. Corrosion-Free & Rust-Proof Alternative
- Unlike steel dock guards, solid rubber will never:
- Rust in marine docks.
- Peel under harsh weather.
- Require repainting or coating.
- Perfect for oil & gas terminals, marine jetties, and shipping yards.
7. Maintenance-Free, Long-Life Design
- Once installed, requires no lubrication, painting, or servicing.
- Resistant to industrial chemicals, diesel spills, and oils.
- Long lifespan reduces operational downtime and replacement costs.
8. Multiple Standard Sizes & Customization Options
- Standard stock:
- Model 330 (100mm × 260mm × 330mm)
- Model 450 (100mm × 260mm × 450mm)
- Model 760 (100mm × 200mm × 760mm)
- Model 300 (100mm × 300mm × 300mm)
- Custom sizes available for oversized docks, offshore rigs, and unique warehouse layouts.
- Can be mounted horizontally or vertically for maximum flexibility.
9. Versatile Mounting & Application
- Suitable for concrete walls, steel frameworks, marine jetty pilings, and dock levellers.
- Commonly used in:
- Warehouses (Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Bandar Seri Begawan)
- Ports & shipping yards (Sandakan, Bintulu, Muara)
- Airports cargo zones (KKIA, Kuching International, Brunei International)
- Supermarkets & retail chains (Miri, Sibu, Tutong)
- Oil & gas bases (Labuan, Kuala Belait, Seria)
10. Heavy Load Resistance
- Designed to withstand continuous impacts from container trucks, semi-trailers, forklifts, and cargo vehicles.
- Can absorb repeated docking from 10-ton to 40-ton capacity trucks without permanent deformation.
- Provides a controlled stop that protects both dock infrastructure and transport vehicles.
11. Safety Enhancement for Dock Operations
- Provides a visual and physical docking guide for truck drivers.
- Reduces the risk of accidents, misalignment, and structural collisions.
- Increases overall efficiency and safety during loading/unloading cycles.
12. Cost-Effective Long-Term Investment
- Reduces dock wall repair costs, truck repair expenses, and structural maintenance.
- One-time purchase provides years of service, offering excellent ROI.
- Lower lifecycle cost compared to steel bumpers and low-quality hollow rubber fenders.
