Fender Buffer

The retractable impact buffer is mounted at ramp level and serves as reliable protection when standard trucks up to tractor trailers of all construction heights are docking. It is designed to move with the vehicle during loading and unloading—ensuring that the function of the loading ramp remains uninterrupted and without obstructing vehicle access.

This type of buffer specifically prevents impact damage to sectional doors and building components by acting as the first point of contact. At the same time, it is robust enough to withstand repeated impacts, protecting both the vehicle and the warehouse structure from unwanted contact.

The special feature of this solution lies in its dynamic functionality : thanks to a clever retracting mechanism, the buffer automatically adapts to the movement of the vehicle, offering maximum flexibility—whether in continuous operation or with varying vehicle types.

For swap bodies , which are often positioned higher than the ramp level, the height-adjustable impact buffer comes into play. This buffer effectively prevents the load bed or vehicle from directly hitting the sectional door or façade—a common problem that can lead to significant damage.

One major advantage of this system: the buffer can be lowered to the so-called "zero position" with just a light foot press. This allows truck wing doors to be opened while the swap body is already docked. After loading or unloading, the buffer is raised 250 mm upward via a foot pedal and is immediately ready for the next incoming vehicle.

This user-friendly function saves time, minimizes risks, and enables high working speed—especially in companies with high traffic at the loading dock.
