Root causes of damaging of standard dock bumpers:
Traditional rubber dock buffers are mounted to the loading dock by means of the rubber. Rubber is flexible and cannot be squeezed, rubber changes from shape. Due to the pressure during the docking, the rubber will reshape and will always find a way out. Hence the reason why a solid, fix and sustainable connection will never be possible. Already during the first docking, first damages to the connection occur. Besides that during the docking point-pressure applies accelerating damages to the dock bumper.
The LENFLEX dock bumper is mounted to the loading dock by means of 15 mm. steel plates. Therefore a robust and sustainable connection is guaranteed. The steel plates avoid point pressure and make sure that the forces, released during the docking process, are distributed over the entire dock bumper. In addition, by means of the steel plates, the LENFLEX dock bumper is a perfect conductor of the vertical movements which occurs during the loading and offloading process. The LENFLEX dock bumper is produced in line with a patented procedure which guarantees the unique steel-rubber connection. With that, the LENFLEX dock bumper is a sustainable and proven solution for investors in industrial and logistics real estate, logistic service providers and shippers whom value their property and equipment. Hopefully also for you.
- The dimensions of the Lenflex dock bumper are 250 mm. x 500 mm. x 100 mm.
- The thickness of the steel plates are 15 mm
- The center line of the holes are 250 mm
- The steel plates move independent from each other
- Vertical as well as horizontal movements are absorbed by nature rubber
