INSTALLATION
A formed angle is used when there is no existing
dock steel and concrete at the dock edge has been
damaged. The formed angle is required to rebuild the
damaged concrete edge for a proper installation if the
dock height is adequate.
Installation Steps:
1. Remove all existing bumper material and
protruding objects from dock edge. Clean and
sweep dock edge free of debris and flammable
chemicals before installing unit.
2. At chosen location for the formed angle, locate
the center of space and mark a point half of the
angle width to the left and right.
3. Using a proper lifting device, raise and position
the formed angle to marked position, slide formed
angle against dock face.
4. Mark along full length of back edge of formed
angle. Slide angle forward the width of brushing
tool, approximately 2”.
5. Place bushing tool on marked line at each end of
formed angle to ensure proper alignment at both
ends. A Skil Roto Hammer #736 or similar tool is
recommended.
6. Using the back edge of the formed angle as a
guide, groove concrete approximately 5/8” deep
by 2” wide, and should be the entire length of the
formed angle.
7. Slide formed angle back until tight against dock
face. drill 5/8” dia. by 5” deep holes through
formed angle at back edge. Install anchor bolts
per manufacturers specifications, and tighten
securely. Weld anchor bolt nuts to formed angle
using a 1/4” fillet weld all the way around the nut.
Cut off any portion of the anchor bolt exposed
through the nut, and plug weld around the top of
the nut to the anchor bolt. Ensure the top of the
nuts are well rounded for smooth rollover.
8. Drill 5/8” dia. by 5” deep holes in dock face
through holes in formed angle. Install anchor
bolts with washers and tighten securely per
manufacturers specifications.
