Heavy Duty “D” Type Rubber Bumper
Overview
The Dock-Rite Heavy Duty “D” Type Rubber Bumper is an extruded rubber dock bumper offering maximum cushioning between vehicle and dock. Softer than leaf-type bumpers, the D-type is ideal where minimising impact transmission to the building is a priority.
✓ Extruded rubber — maximum cushioning, softer than leaf type
✓ Flat bar mounting allows movement — reduces fixing stress
✓ Available in various lengths
✓ Can also be mounted to the back of vehicles
✓ Excellent shock absorption for high-impact applications
✓ Suitable for light and heavy vehicle applications
Heavy Duty Leaf Type Bumpers
Overview
Dock-Rite Heavy Duty Leaf Type Bumpers are locally manufactured dock bumpers designed to protect the building structure from the repeated impact of reversing vehicles. Made from layers of heavy-duty conveyor belt material, these bumpers are exceptionally strong and are known to last well in excess of 10 years in high-frequency dock environments.
✓ Made from laminated heavy-duty conveyor belt strips
✓ Locally manufactured — readily available for replacement
✓ Lifespan exceeds 10 years in high-frequency use
✓ More durable than standard rubber bumpers
✓ Absorbs repeated high-impact vehicle collisions
✓ Protects building structure and dock face from damage
✓ Low lifetime cost despite higher initial purchase price
✓ Available in various sizes for different dock configurations
Typical Applications
- High-frequency loading docks
- Distribution centres with 24-hour operations
- Docks handling heavy vehicles (18-wheelers, interlinks)
- Any dock where vehicle impact is frequent or severe
- Replacement of worn or damaged bumpers
- New dock installations requiring long-term durability

Truck / Trailer Restraint
Overview
The Dock-Rite Truck / Trailer Restraint is a safety-critical device that prevents three of the most dangerous dock accidents: premature vehicle departure, vehicle creep / dock walk, and landing gear collapse.
Non-impact operation means the restraint engages without physical force, resulting in lower maintenance requirements, greater reliability, and longer service life than impact-type systems.
✓ Non-impact operation — maximum reliability, minimum maintenance
✓ Prevents premature vehicle departure (most common cause of dock fatalities)
✓ Prevents dock walk / vehicle creep during loading
✓ Prevents trailer landing gear collapse
✓ LED interior and exterior indicator lights + caution signs
✓ 14,000 kg restraining force
✓ Fewest moving parts of any restraint system
✓ Manual operation — simple, reliable, no complex electronics
Typical Applications
- All loading docks where vehicle departure is a safety concern
- Facilities handling high-value or dangerous goods
- Sites with documented dock walk incidents
- DCs with multiple concurrent dock operations
- Cold chain where trailer movement disrupts seals
- Docks required to comply with formal safety standards
- Sites seeking ISO 45001 / OHSAS 18001 compliance
- High-traffic 24-hour logistics operations
Truck Guides
Overview
Dock-Rite Truck Guides are ground-fixed steel guides installed in front of loading bays to assist truck drivers in reversing accurately and docking directly in front of the bay. They act as both a visual and physical guide.
✓ Reduces dock approach time — less reversing required
✓ Prevents angled docking that causes seal damage and gaps
✓ Physical and visual guide — visible from truck cab
✓ Fixed to floor using sleeve anchors — no welding required
✓ Available painted or hot dip galvanized
✓ Custom sizes and formats available on request
✓ Reduces damage to dock seals and shelters from mis-docking
✓ Heavy-tube construction: 152mm O/D × 6mm wall
Typical Applications
- All loading bay installations (recommended as standard)
- Sites with limited yard space for manoeuvring
- Docks where seal damage from mis-docking is an issue
- High-throughput facilities where docking speed matters
- Sites with tight dock centres
- Night-operation facilities with reduced lighting
- New dock installations and retrofit applications
- Any facility concerned about dock infrastructure damage
