Dock Bumper Bracketing
Above Dock Riser Bracketing
If the impact height is determined to be ABOVE the dock level there may be a need for Above Dock Riser Bracketing to be applied in conjunction with the appropriate dock bumper. Above Dock Risers can be ordered to include the appropriate dock bumpers and welded to the brackets for easier, one-step installation.
Note: Trade-off may be necessary when considering Above Dock Riser Brackets as they intrude into the door opening and interfere with the loading and unloading of trailers.
Choose one of the following styles of Above Dock Riser Brackets made from ½” thick steel:
