The challenge for any dock bumper is less the “truck impact”, than it is the abrasion caused by loading/unloading of the trailer. As the trailer rises and falls with the weight of the forklift and cargo, the truck/bumper contact point scuffs, scrapes and degrades. Over time, any bumper will wear away to the point it no longer offers the protection a dock needs. In contrast to conventional, stationary bumpers, the SLIDE-effect® dock bumper has a built-in sliding mechanism, which limits friction and abrasion, minimizing the degradation of the bumper, while maintaining protection of the loading dock.
Additionally, SLIDE-effect® bumpers are installed with a permanent wall bracket and in the unlikely event the rubber face needs replacing, it requires no tools or expensive installation unlike conventional bumpers that typically need concrete work or welding.
The SLIDE-effect® is a revolutionary dock bumper to protect loading docks. With a built-in sliding mechanism, this loading dock bumper limits friction and abrasion; extending the bumper’s life. The SLIDE-effect® comes with a lifetime warranty providing peace of mind; for dock bumpers, and loading docks. The SLIDE-effect® will be the last bumper you will ever need to install!
