What is the primary purpose of these rubber buffers?

What material are the buffers made from?

They are manufactured from synthetic rubber, chosen for its strength and durability.

Can these buffers be used both indoors and outdoors?

Yes, they are suitable for a wide variety of uses, both internally and externally.

What are the dimensions of the buffer?

How many buffers are included in a pack?

This listing is for a pack of 6 x oval rubber buffers.

What types of vehicles or structures are these buffers best suited for?

They are ideal for trucks, trailers, horse boxes, shutter doors, motor homes, and loading bays, among other applications.

Troubleshooting

Buffer not staying in place

Ensure that appropriate fasteners (bolts with nuts and washers, or screws with anchors) are used for the mounting surface. Check that the mounting surface is solid and not compromised. Re-tighten fasteners if they have loosened.

Buffer appears to be absorbing too much impact

Verify that the buffer is correctly installed and aligned with the point of impact. Ensure no other obstructions are preventing the intended function. For extreme impacts, consider if additional or larger buffers are required.

Rubber shows signs of cracking or degradation

This may indicate exposure to extreme temperatures, chemicals, or prolonged UV radiation. Clean with mild soap and water. If degradation is severe, the buffer may need replacement.

  • Durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Easy to install with pre-drilled holes.
  • Versatile for numerous applications beyond trucks and trailers.
  • Effective as a cushioning element and shock absorber.

Cons

  • Requires bolting for installation, which may need specific tools.
  • Sold in packs of 6, which might be more than needed for some single applications.

  • The oval shape may not be suitable for all specific mounting scenarios.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Select a suitable location for mounting.
  2. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound.
  3. Position the buffer and mark the locations of the two pre-drilled holes.
  4. Drill pilot holes appropriate for your chosen fasteners (bolts, screws).
  5. Securely bolt or screw the buffer into place. Ensure fasteners are appropriate for the mounting surface and load.

Compatibility:

These buffers are designed for bolted attachment to a variety of rigid surfaces including metal, wood, and composite materials. They are compatible with most commercial and recreational vehicles such as trucks, trailers, horse boxes, and motor homes. They can also be used on fixed structures like loading bays, shutter doors, and internal walls.

Care:

Clean the rubber buffers periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these may degrade the synthetic rubber. Inspect the buffers regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure mounting bolts remain tight.
