Rubber Bumper Block Dock Buffers Raneped 6x3x3 Inch Steel Washers

Description

Product Overview

Raneped’s Rubber Bumper Block Dock Buffers are engineered to deliver superior impact absorption for a wide range of industrial and maritime applications. Each block measures 6x3x3 inches, providing a substantial contact surface that mitigates damage from collisions, loading impacts, and everyday wear. Constructed from a high‑grade alloy steel core encased in molded black rubber, the buffers combine the strength of metal with the flexibility of rubber to disperse forces evenly. The pre‑installed steel washers simplify installation, allowing the blocks to be securely fastened to chassis, trailer frames, flatbed decks, or dock pilings without the need for additional hardware. With a weight of 3.5 pounds per block, they offer a solid feel while remaining easy to handle during setup. Designed for universal fit, these buffers are compatible with chassis, flatbeds, reefers, and a variety of truck and trailer configurations, making them a versatile solution for protecting valuable assets across multiple environments.

Usage

These dock buffers excel in demanding settings where reliable protection is essential. On loading docks, they safeguard the edges of steel structures against the repeated impact of trucks backing into the dock, reducing costly repairs and downtime. For maritime applications, the blocks can be mounted on boat docks, marinas, and slipways to cushion vessels as they come alongside, preventing hull scratches and dock deformation. In the transportation sector, they serve as a protective barrier for chassis and flatbed trailers, absorbing shocks during loading, unloading, and transit. The robust rubber exterior resists oil, water, and UV exposure, ensuring long‑term performance even in harsh weather conditions. Whether used in a warehouse loading bay, a commercial shipping dock, or a private boatyard, the buffers provide a dependable line of defense that enhances safety for personnel and equipment alike.

FAQ

Can these buffers be installed on both metal and wooden surfaces?

Yes, the included steel washers are designed to work with a variety of surface materials, including metal, wood, and reinforced concrete, allowing secure attachment in most dock and trailer environments.

What is the recommended torque for the mounting bolts?

We recommend tightening the mounting bolts to a torque of 30‑35 ft‑lb (40‑47 Nm) to ensure a firm hold while avoiding over‑compression of the rubber block.

Are the buffers compatible with refrigerated trailers (reefers)?

Absolutely. The universal fit design and robust construction make them suitable for refrigerated trailers, flatbeds, and other temperature‑controlled transport units.

How do I maintain the rubber surface to extend its lifespan?

Regularly clean the blocks with mild soap and water to remove debris, and inspect the washers for corrosion. Applying a silicone‑based protectant can further shield the rubber from UV degradation.

What is the load rating for each buffer?

Each buffer is engineered to absorb impacts up to 1,200 pounds of force, making them ideal for protecting heavy equipment and high‑traffic dock areas.
