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.
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 brushing 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.
