Dock Bumper Bracketing

Above Dock Riser Bracketing

If the impact height is determined to be ABOVE the dock level there may be a need for Above Dock Riser Bracketing to be applied in conjunction with the appropriate dock bumper. Above Dock Risers can be ordered to include the appropriate dock bumpers and welded to the brackets for easier, one-step installation.

Note: Trade-off may be necessary when considering Above Dock Riser Brackets as they intrude into the door opening and interfere with the loading and unloading of trailers.

Choose one of the following styles of Above Dock Riser Brackets made from ½" thick steel:

A.Standard Riser

Used in most applications.

A, B, C, D & G dimensions required when ordering. Specify if dock bumper is welded to riser.

B. Standard Riser with Extra Projection

Used in applications where extra bumper projection is required and the bumper of choice does not have enough projection. Note: Always consult OEM specifications of other loading dock equipment installed at dock position (dock levelers, truck restraints, dock shelters, etc.) for specific dock bumper protection requirements.

A, B, C, D, E & G dimensions required when ordering. Specify if dock bumper is welded to riser.

C. Standard Riser with Cut Out

Used in applications where the door opening width is small and there is not enough space between the dock leveler and the wall for a standard width riser bracket

A, B, C, D, & G dimensions required when ordering. Specify if dock bumper is welded to riser.

BUMPER EXTENSION BRACKETING

Used when the dock bumper projection must be increased and it cannot be accomplished by choosing the bumper size of appropriate projection. They can also be used to extend an existing bumper to the proper projection. Extension brackets can ship with the dock bumpers welded to them for easier one-step installation.

A, B, & C dimensions required when ordering. Specify if dock bumper is welded to extension bracket.

BUMPER MOUNTING PLATES

Used when the concrete at the bumper mounting location is damaged and preventing secure installation of dock bumper. The bumper mounting plate can be made wider and higher to allow fastening into more solid concrete. They can ship with the dock bumpers welded to them for easier one-step installation.

A, B, C & D dimensions required when ordering. Specify if dock bumper is welded to mounting plate.
