How can Dock Bumpers be mounted when the Loading Dock is lower than the Height of Trucks backing into the Dock?
Gussets are used in applications where the dock height is lower than the common trailer height. Gussets are in the shape of a triangle and are made of steel. Gussets are recommended for vertical dock bumper units and are not to exceed half of the total bumper height. Gusset height and base extend equally above and back on the dock. The width of the gusset is equal to the width of the bumper. A bumper with a gusset is mounted both to the dock face and the dock floor.
