Heavy-Duty Steel Fixing Plate for TPU Dock Bumper

Steel mounting plate for RB500TPU polyurethane dock bumper – 500 × 275 mm

When installing the RB500TPU high-density polyurethane dock bumper, proper load distribution is essential. This reinforced high-strength steel mounting plate (500 × 275 mm) is specifically designed to support the bumper, distribute impact forces evenly and protect your concrete or steel structure over the long term.

It converts a simple fastening system into a reliable mechanical interface between the truck, the bumper and the building.

Essential load distribution to protect your structure

During docking manoeuvres, impact forces are transmitted from the vehicle to the bumper and then directly to the wall.

Without a mounting plate, stresses concentrate around anchor bolts, which can lead to:

• Concrete cracking

• Surface spalling

• Anchor pull-out

• Progressive structural fatigue

This reinforced steel plate acts as a load-spreading interface, distributing impact forces across a wider surface area and significantly reducing stress peaks.

The result: improved dock longevity and fewer heavy repair interventions.

Precision sizing for RB500TPU compatibility

With a 500 mm height and 275 mm width, the plate fully matches the contact area of the RB500TPU bumper.

This ensures:

• Even load distribution

• Stable full-surface support

• No overhang or flexing zones

• Mechanical coherence between bumper and substrate

It is not a generic universal plate — it is dimensioned specifically for this bumper model.

Reinforced steel for structural integrity

The high-strength reinforced steel is selected for performance, not aesthetics.

It is designed to:

• Resist deformation under compression

• Withstand repeated impact cycles

• Remain perfectly flat over time

• Maintain constant bumper contact

This structural stability ensures the polyurethane bumper functions as intended.

Secure fastening adapted to site constraints

The plate features 4 pre-drilled holes for Ø20 mm anchor bolts (not supplied), allowing installers to select:

• Appropriate anchor length

• Mechanical, chemical or through-bolt anchoring systems

• Suitable resistance class for shear and pull-out loads

This professional approach prevents under-dimensioned installations.

Suitable for renovation and new construction

The mounting plate can be installed:

• On existing concrete dock faces

• On new loading bays

• On steel structural frames

It is supplied individually, without fixings, ready for professional integration into your installation strategy.

FAQ – Mounting plate for RB500TPU

Is the plate mandatory for installing the RB500TPU bumper?

No, but it is strongly recommended to protect the substrate and ensure long-term structural reliability.

Can it be installed on cracked concrete?

Yes, it is particularly useful for redistributing loads when the concrete substrate is weakened.

Is it compatible with other dock bumpers?

It is specifically designed for the RB500TPU model. Compatibility with other models depends on dimensions and fixing centres.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes, the steel construction is suitable for logistics environments exposed to outdoor conditions.

Can it be removed easily?

Yes, it can be dismantled if the bumper needs replacement or the installation is modified.
