Building Protection – Loading Dock Bumpers and Your Building’s Foundations
Building protection is the sole purpose of a loading dock bumper installation. Taking into account the impact forces potentially at your dock will mean less force exerted on building walls and foundations. Impact force is a crucial component of building protection. Having the right configuration, material and bumper type can go to great lengths to protect your building and avoid damage to your buildings foundations.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
-Henry David Thoreau
When buying loading dock bumpers many things are taken into consideration. Material, Mounting, truck height, approach and a long list of things need to be considered for your warehouse or facility. Often times customers are looking at the walls, dock sills and seals around there dock when replacing or adding loading dock bumpers to their loading dock configuration, but fail to think about their building as a whole.

We purchased Dura-soft dock bumpers and I can’t say enough good things about the product or service from Freyer. I manage our facility which means I care about what most people take for granted but Pat at Freyer listened to my challenges with my docks and suggested Dura-soft. Better yet, I took my quoted price and shopped it around and well, they couldn’t be beaten.
Highly recommend the product I’ll be ordering from Freyer again in the future.
