A loading dock bumper assembly includes at least one bracket for mounting the assembly on a surface of a loading dock. At least one resilient bumper component is attached to the bracket, the bumper component formed of a block of resilient recycled plastic material is positioned to receive the impact of a motor vehicle backed into abutment with the dock. The block is preferably formed of extruded high density polyethylene. A side of the block adapted to receive contact with a motor vehicle may be provided with a slot along its length. The slot is adapted to have secured therein a wear bar substantially of equal length with the bumper component. The preferred wear bar is a steel bar of rectangular cross section fitted into the slot with a surface thereof substantially flush with the surface of the resilient component. At least one corner of the block preferably is provided with a chamfer cut at approximately 45° whereby lodging of a truck bumper on the assembly is obviated.

Cette invention concerne un butoir de quai de chargement comprenant au moins un support de fixation à une surface du quai de chargement. Chaque support de fixation supporte au moins un butoir élastique fait d'un bloc de matériau plastique recyclé, disposé à un endroit où il absorbera l'impact d'un véhicule moteur reculant jusqu'à heurter le quai. Le matériau utilisé est de préférence du polyéthylène haute densité et le butoir est obtenu préférablement par extrusion. Le face avant du butoir peut comporter une fente pleine longueur dans laquelle se loge une barre d'usure de longueur sensiblement égale à celle du butoir. De préférence, il s'agira d'une barre en acier de section rectangulaire encastrée complètement dans la fente du butoir. De préférence, au moins une des arêtes du butoir est chanfreiné à 45 degrés pour empêcher un pare-chocs de se coincer sur le butoir.
