Dock Buffers (sometimes called Bumpers)

Dock buffers are constructed from strong reinforced rubber composite, to reduce the considerable forces of vehicles reversing into the dock face.

We also offer sliding yellow dock buffers and other variations to suit each individual dock application.

The standard and integrated loading bay control panel operates many loading systems including; inflatable dock shelters, dock levellers and insulated doors.

With its traffic light indicator lamps, it can provide a safer working environment and reduce damage.
