CA 2406868

A bumper assembly (12) for a loading dock (10) includes a bumper (14) that is moveable between an operative position and a stored position. In the operative position, the bumper (14) extends well above the dock platform (10) to prevent excessively high trucks, trailer beds, and cargo container from being parked over the top of the dock platform (10). In the stored position, the bumper (14) is positioned so as not to obstruct loading and unloading of cargo. In some cases, the bumper (14) is biased to the operative position to encourage operators to normally leave the bumper (14) in that position. In some embodiments, the bumper (14) is selectively moveable away from the vehicle or container that the bumper (14) is blocking to facilitate subsequently moving the bumper (14) to its stored position.

L'invention concerne un ensemble butoir (12) pour un quai de chargement (10), comprenant un butoir (14) pouvant être déplacé entre une position opérationnelle et une position de stockage. Dans la position opérationnelle, le butoir (14) s'étend bien au dessus de la plate-forme (10) du quai de manière à empêcher que des camions excessivement hauts, des charges de remorque et des conteneurs de transport ne soient placés sur le haut de la plate-forme (10). Dans une position stockée, le butoir (14) est placé de manière à une pas gêner le chargement et le déchargement d'un ensemble de marchandises. Dans certains cas, le butoir (14) est dévié dans sa position opérationnelle afin d'encourager les opérateurs à laisser, de manière générale, le butoir (14) dans cette position. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le butoir (14) peut être déplacé de manière sélective loin du véhicule ou du conteneur que le butoir (14) est en train de bloquer, afin de faciliter le replacement ultérieur du butoir (14) dans sa position de stockage.
