Spring Loaded Back Plate - Enhance Dock Bumper Flexibility and Performance
The Spring Loaded Back Plate, with dimensions of 720 x 250 x 66 mm and weighing 35.5 kg, is designed to enhance the functionality of dock bumpers by providing dynamic movement and adaptability. This innovative component is ideal for use in loading bays where frequent contact with trailers occurs, offering a practical solution to manage bumper positioning and impact absorption.
Advanced Spring Loaded Design
The key feature of this back plate is its spring-loaded mechanism, which allows it to move vertically as the trailer loads and unloads. This design enables the dock bumper to slide down under the pressure of the trailer, reducing the risk of damage to both the bumper and the trailer itself. When the trailer moves away, the spring mechanism ensures that the bumper returns to its original position, maintaining optimal alignment and protection.
Compatibility and Versatility
The Spring Loaded Back Plate is specifically engineered to be compatible with a range of 450 mm high dock bumpers. It comes supplied with fixings that are suitable for attaching to models such as the SN003 standard dock bumper, including SN252, SN253, and SN254. This compatibility ensures that the back plate can be seamlessly integrated with existing bumpers, enhancing their performance without the need for extensive modifications.
Practical Installation and Use
While the back plate includes fixings for the dock bumpers, additional fixings are required to secure the assembly to the loading bay itself. This ensures a stable and secure installation, providing reliable performance in high-traffic loading areas. The practical design of the spring-loaded back plate allows for easy adjustment and maintenance, ensuring that it continues to perform effectively over time.
Robust Construction
With its robust construction, the Spring Loaded Back Plate is built to withstand the rigours of heavy-duty use. The durable materials and spring mechanism are designed to handle repeated impacts and movements, making it a reliable choice for busy loading docks and industrial environments.
Conclusion
The Spring Loaded Back Plate offers a significant upgrade to standard dock bumpers, providing enhanced flexibility and impact management. Its spring-loaded design allows the bumper to adapt to trailer movements, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring continued protection for both the trailer and the loading dock. By incorporating this advanced back plate into your loading bay setup, you can achieve improved performance and longevity for your dock bumpers, enhancing overall safety and efficiency in your operations.
