The present invention relates to a loading dock bumper comprising (a) a first rigid part for fastening to the dock; (b) a second rigid part for receiving a load applied to the bumper, the second rigid part engaged with the first rigid part defining a substantially enclosed hollow therebetween, the second rigid part having at least one substantially chamfered edge; (c) an effective amount of a substantially compressible resilient material contained within the substantially enclosed hollow; and (d) at least one connecting device for engaging the second rigid part with the first rigid part, wherein the second rigid part is moveable with respect to the first rigid part between a first position wherein the substantially compressible resilient material is substantially not compressed and a second position wherein the substantially compressible resilient material is substantially compressed, and wherein any load applied to the bumper moves the second rigid part from the first position towards the second position and compresses the substantially compressible resilient material to provide dampening of the applied load. The at least one chamfered edge is preferably defined by the front, top and three sides of the second rigid part and prevents difficulties when disengaging a vehicle from the dock. The loading dock bumper may also include at least one vehicle positioning indicia preferably recessed from the front of the second rigid part for facilitating an operator of a vehicle to position the vehicle at the dock.
