Tall UHMWPE Plastic Dock Bumper 760×270×110mm – Extra Height Heavy Duty Loading Bay Protection
Tall UHMWPE Plastic Dock Bumper 760×270×110mm – Extra Height Heavy Duty Loading Bay Protection
At 760mm tall — the largest standard profile in our UHMWPE range — the Tall UHMWPE Plastic Dock Bumper 760 x 270 x 110mm delivers universal vehicle height coverage with the superior material performance that only ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene can provide. Whether your dock receives standard curtainsiders, refrigerated double-deck trailers, high-frame container flats, or the emerging generation of taller electric vehicle platform trailers, the 760mm face height ensures complete bumper contact for every vehicle type. Combined with the 110mm projection depth and UHMWPE's outstanding impact resistance, chemical stability, and cold temperature performance, this is the definitive specification for mixed-fleet, high-volume operations that require maximum durability with minimum maintenance.
760mm Height: The Universal UHMWPE Solution for Mixed Fleet Operations
The UK trailer fleet is more diverse than at any point in its history. Alongside traditional 13.6m articulated curtainsiders, loading bays now receive refrigerated double-deck trailers, skeletal container flats, curtain-sided rigids, temperature-controlled pharmaceutical trailers, and increasingly, purpose-built electric vehicle platform bodies with different floor height profiles. A 760mm UHMWPE bumper positioned at the correct height provides bumper contact coverage across this entire spectrum of vehicle types. At 110mm depth, it provides significantly more energy absorption than 66mm alternatives, handling the higher impact energies of heavier and faster-moving modern trailers. The UHMWPE material ensures this performance is maintained across decades of service in all UK weather and operating conditions.
Key Benefits
- 760mm Tall UHMWPE Profile — The largest standard profile in the UHMWPE range; covers all UK HGV trailer types in a single bumper installation, including double-deck and high-floor container flats
- 110mm Depth Profile — Significant energy absorption advantage over 66mm alternatives; handles high-speed and heavy vehicle impacts without full compression
- Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene — Superior impact resistance, self-lubricating surface, and exceptional performance at temperatures from -200°C to +80°C
- 270mm Width — Standard width provides the correct lateral coverage for most dock door side-jamb positions
- Future-Proof Specification — 760mm height accommodates the full range of current and emerging HGV trailer configurations, protecting your dock investment against fleet changes
- Self-Lubricating Surface — UHMWPE's low friction ensures smooth trailer departure without gripping, protecting trailer curtains, strapping, and paintwork
- Decades of Service Life — UHMWPE's abrasion and impact resistance delivers service life far exceeding rubber alternatives in demanding environments

| Country of Origin | United Kingdom |
Ideal Applications & Use Cases
- National Distribution Centre Docks — The largest distribution operations receiving the widest vehicle mix need 760mm UHMWPE bumpers to ensure every vehicle type makes full bumper contact without any unprotected dock face exposure
- Cold Chain & Temperature-Controlled Logistics — 760mm height covers all refrigerated trailer types including double-deck and high-floor refrigerated vehicles, while UHMWPE's cold temperature performance ensures full impact absorption even at sub-zero dock temperatures
- Port & Container Terminal Loading Docks — Container flat trailers have widely varying bed heights; the 760mm profile accommodates this variation without requiring height-specific bumpers at individual dock positions
- Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Operations — 3PL facilities serve multiple client operations with different fleet specifications; 760mm UHMWPE bumpers eliminate the need for dock-by-dock bumper height selection
- Future-Proof New Build Specifications — Developers and occupiers specifying 760mm UHMWPE bumpers in new-build warehouses ensure their dock protection remains appropriate as vehicle technology and trailer designs evolve over a 20–25 year occupancy period
- Replacement of Undersized Existing Bumpers — The ideal upgrade for facilities where 450–600mm bumpers are proven inadequate for the current vehicle mix, with no structural modification required
Installation Guide
For the 760mm tall bumper, vertical positioning flexibility is greater than with shorter profiles. For most mixed-fleet UK operations, position the lower edge at approximately 680–750mm from dock floor level, placing the centre at approximately 1,060–1,130mm — covering trailer bed heights from approximately 680mm to 1,440mm from ground. For facilities where double-deck trailer operations dominate, adjust upward accordingly. Use the pre-drilled fixing plate as a drilling template. At 760mm height and 110mm depth, this is a substantial bumper requiring two operatives for safe handling during installation. Drill M20 anchor holes to the required depth in solid concrete or masonry. Ensure anchor bolts are installed to the correct embedment depth and torqued to specification. Install bumpers in pairs, symmetrically positioned either side of the dock door opening. Verify correct positioning by recording contact with several different vehicle types after installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 750mm rubber extra tall and this 760mm UHMWPE tall bumper? The dimensions are very similar, but the materials are fundamentally different. The 760mm UHMWPE bumper offers superior cold temperature performance, better chemical resistance, higher abrasion resistance, and a self-lubricating surface. For ambient operations, both are suitable; for cold stores, food facilities, or high-frequency docking, the UHMWPE specification is significantly preferable.
Can this bumper be installed on older warehouse dock faces? Yes, provided the underlying structure is sound. Older brick dock faces should be assessed by a structural engineer to confirm wall condition and anchor capacity before installing a heavy bumper of this size.
Is the 760mm version significantly heavier than the 450mm UHMWPE? Yes — UHMWPE has a density of approximately 0.94 g/cm³. At 760 x 270 x 110mm, this bumper is a heavy component requiring two operatives and appropriate manual handling equipment for safe installation.
This Tall UHMWPE Dock Bumper is part of our comprehensive range of UHMWPE plastic dock bumpers, tall loading bay bumpers, and heavy-duty dock protection systems. We stock the full UHMWPE range from 450mm standard through to 760mm tall, extra tall, no-snag, yellow, and 20-tonne rated heavy-duty options. All products are held in UK stock for fast nationwide delivery. Contact our technical team for mixed-fleet dock specification advice, volume pricing, or project quotations. Suitable as a tall UHMWPE dock bumper, extra height loading bay buffer, or mixed-fleet dock protector for distribution, cold chain, port, and logistics operations throughout the UK.
