Loading Dock Rubber Bumper

A loading dock rubber bumper is installed on the docks to protect them from trailers when unloading operations occur. The docking area is one of the busiest places to be found in industrial or commercial places because it is where the products are unloaded or unloaded, so collisions with the dock cannot be avoided when there is an ongoing operation. So the loading dock rubber bumper is very important in such situations because we can prevent huge warehouse repair costs.

There are many different loading dock bumpers on the market, but why do we market rubber-type, simply because it is the most cost-effective when you compare it to alloy or metal-type dock fenders. A good feature of a rubber-type dock bumper is that it is not prone to corrosion, and also, because of its resiliency, you are protecting both your docking areas and trucks simultaneously. So why would you settle for alloy or metal type if there is a loading dock rubber bumper that is reliable and durable? It is also made of high-grade compound materials, so you can be sure that it has long years of service..

Some Types of Loading Dock Rubber Bumper

There are three loading dock bumpers: recessed, surface-mounted, and wheel chock.

Recessed dock bumpers are installed flush with the edge of the loading dock, making them ideal for facilities with limited space.
Surface-mounted dock bumpers are fastened to the face of the loading dock and protrude outward.
Wheel chock dock bumpers are placed behind the wheels of a trailer to keep it from rolling forward while unloading.

How to Install

1. Measure the width of the loading dock door opening. This will determine the size and number of bumpers you need.

2. Select the type of bumper you want. There are several options available, including foam, rubber, and air-filled.

3. Install the bumpers on either side of the door opening, using bolts or screws to secure them. Please ensure they are level and flush with the dock’s surface.

4. Test the bumpers by slowly backing a vehicle up to the dock. The bumper should contact the car before it hits the dock itself.

How to Maintain

First and foremost, it is essential to check the loading dock bumpers regularly for any damage that may have occurred. If any cracks or holes are found, repair them as soon as possible to avoid further damage.
Always keep the loading dock area clean and free of debris, as this can cause damage to the bumpers. If the bumpers do become damaged, they should be replaced immediately.

By following these simple tips, you can help extend the life of your loading dock bumpers and keep them in good condition.

Importance of Loading Dock Rubber Bumper

Rubber Conveyor Belt

Product Description

Conveyor belts are used in conveyor systems responsible for transporting materials or packages from one place to another. It can be seen in warehouses and factories to speed up their production. In this way, a manufacturing company can save more money because there’s no need to hire more workers for transporting or lifting jobs.

We also manufacture and supply rubber conveyor belts to sorting offices or domestic airports to keep luggage safe from departing or arriving in the country. Our rubber conveyor belt is guaranteed 100% non-slip and highly resistant to chemicals/corrosion, so it is safe for any product that passes through it.

Common Type of Conveyor Belt

Rubber conveyor belts are commonly used in industrial and commercial settings and can be made from various materials. One common type of rubber conveyor belt is the food-grade belt, designed to transport food products without contaminating them. These belts are often made of FDA-approved materials and can be cleaned quickly to prevent the spread of bacteria.

Another common type of rubber conveyor belt is the heavy-duty belt, which is designed for use in industries such as mining and construction. These belts are made from more robust materials that can withstand high levels of wear and tear, and they typically have a higher weight capacity than other types of belts.

History of the Conveyor Belts

The conveyor belt was introduced in 1892 and has been integral to the mining, logging, and materials handling industries. The belt moves heavy loads of ore or other materials from one point to another and can be up to several miles long. The first belts were made of cotton or hemp, but Soon after its introduction, the rubber conveyor belt became the preferred choice for moving heavy loads.

The early twentieth century saw the development of new types of rubber that were better suited for use in conveyor belts. These new rubbers had improved strength and resistance to abrasion, making them ideal for use in the harsh conditions found in mines and log camps. In the years since, conveyor belts have continued to evolve, with advances in materials and design that have made them even more durable and reliable.

How a Rubber Conveyor Belt is Made

A rubber conveyor belt comprises a continuous loop of fabric or other material supported by a metal or plastic frame. It is composed of multiple layers of rubber, with the bottom layer being the heaviest and most durable. The top layer is generally made of a lighter-weight material, such as nylon, to provide flexibility and prevent tearing.

The first step in creating a rubber conveyor belt is to cut the fabric or other materials to the desired width and length. The next step is to combine the ends of the material using either a welding process or adhesive. Once the ends are joined together, the next step is to add any reinforcement layers that may be required. These reinforcement layers can be made of steel, Kevlar, or other materials depending on the specific application.

Some Potential Drawbacks

While rubber conveyor belts offer many advantages over other types of conveyor belts, there are some potential drawbacks to using them. One issue is that rubber belts can be damaged by sharp objects, such as nails or metal shards. If a sharp object punctures the belt, it can cause the belt to tear or break. Another potential drawback is that rubber belts are not as heat-resistant as some other types of conveyor belts. If exposed to high temperatures for extended periods, the belt can begin to degrade and may eventually fail.
