Dock Bumper Grainger 13x4x12 Rubber Loading Dock Bumper

Description

Product Overview

The Grainger 13x4x12 inch rubber dock bumper is engineered to provide robust impact resistance for industrial loading dock applications. Constructed from high‑density rubber, this bumper absorbs the force of trucks and pallets, protecting both the dock structure and the equipment that contacts it. With overall dimensions of 13 inches in height, 4 inches in depth, and 12 inches in width, the bumper offers a balanced profile that fits standard dock edges while delivering ample cushioning. The product includes four pre‑drilled mounting holes spaced 9‑1/4 inches on center, allowing for secure attachment to the dock surface using standard hardware. Its weight of 1.49 pounds makes it easy to handle during installation yet solid enough to withstand repeated impacts. Designed for Grainger‑approved quality standards, this dock bumper meets the rigorous demands of warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities.

Usage

This dock bumper is ideal for a variety of loading dock environments, including freight handling bays, truck loading stations, and pallet exchange zones. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, performing reliably in temperature ranges typical of industrial settings. The rubber material resists oil, chemicals, and moisture, ensuring longevity even in harsh conditions. Users can install the bumper on steel or concrete dock surfaces, making it versatile for retrofitting existing docks or outfitting new facilities. The four mounting holes provide flexibility in positioning, allowing the bumper to be aligned with dock levelers, dock plates, or other accessories. Whether the dock is used for high‑volume shipping, receiving, or cross‑docking operations, the bumper reduces wear on dock edges and minimizes the risk of damage to trailers and cargo.

FAQ

What weight of trucks can this dock bumper handle?

The rubber material is designed to absorb the impact of standard commercial trucks, including fully loaded trailers up to 80,000 pounds. While the bumper does not bear the full weight of a truck, it protects the dock edge from the forces generated during loading and unloading.

Can the bumper be installed on concrete docks?

Yes, the bumper can be mounted on both steel and concrete dock surfaces. For concrete installations, use appropriate anchors or concrete screws to secure the mounting holes, ensuring a stable attachment.

Is the rubber material UV resistant for outdoor use?

The rubber formulation includes additives that provide resistance to UV exposure, making the bumper suitable for outdoor dock areas. However, prolonged direct sunlight may gradually affect the material over many years, so periodic inspection is recommended.

How do I replace a damaged bumper?

To replace a damaged bumper, remove the existing mounting hardware, detach the old unit, and install a new bumper using the same four mounting holes. The process is straightforward and can be completed with basic hand tools.
