Aluminium + Rubber Tipper Blocks Landing Pads Buffers Trailers - 10pc

Their primary purpose is to cushion and protect vehicles and machinery during tipping operations by absorbing shock and vibration, thereby minimizing damage from repeated impacts.

They are constructed with a self-colour aluminium base plate bonded to a rubber tipper pad.

They are typically installed by welding the aluminium base plate to the desired position for a secure and permanent fixture. Other methods might be possible depending on the application but welding is recommended.

The aluminium base plate measures 355mm x 75mm x 3mm, and the rubber tipper pad measures 288mm x 75mm x 30mm.

Yes, they are commonly used on tipper trucks and trailers, particularly for the edges of drop-down sides that come into contact with the floor during tipping.

Periodic inspection for wear, cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, and checking the integrity of the bond between the aluminium and rubber are recommended.

This listing is for a pack of 10 tipper blocks.

Inspect the bonding area. If the bond has failed, the unit may need replacement. Ensure surfaces were clean and properly bonded during manufacturing.

Check if the application involves impacts exceeding the designed capacity of the pad. Ensure the pad is correctly positioned to absorb direct impact. Consider if a thicker or denser material is required for the specific use case.

Clean the affected area and apply a suitable metal primer and paint or protective coating, especially if the unit is exposed to harsh weather or chemicals. Ensure any welds are properly sealed.

Ensure you are using the correct welding process and filler material for aluminium. If unsure, consult a professional welder experienced with aluminium fabrication.
