Loading Dock Buffers

What is the Purpose of Loading Dock Buffers?

These buffers are placed within a loading bay where many lorries and large vehicles will park up. The purpose is to reduce the risk of damaged caused to the loading bay or surrounding buildings and equipment if a large motor vehicle happens to hit the structure. When a large vehicle such as a lorry or a HGV is reversing into a docking bay it is difficult to see where the limits are and they may occasionally make contact with the wall. If this does occur, you will limit the damaged that is caused to the loading bay. As well as this, loading dock buffers will protect both the driver and the vehicle from serious injury or harm by cushioning any impact that may be made. Another use of a dock buffer is that it is a useful guide for drivers when they are slowing backing into a space. They are able to see or feel when they cannot move backwards or forwards any further due to the positioning of the buffer.

Where Can This Product Be Used?

The best place to use dock buffers is in a loading bay itself. These are designated areas which are tailor made for trucks to unload or load the goods which they are carrying. Using  buffers here can limit the amount of damage caused in the place where it is needed most. It is recommended to have buffers in locations where they are accepting and unloading or dispatching deliveries. For example, around the back of a supermarket where they accept stock deliveries on a daily basis or at warehouses where they may offload stock to be delivered to different locations. Similarly, having buffers in any car park that sees a lot of incoming traffic from HGVs such as service station car parks, where truckers will stop off on long journeys, is highly recommended.
