Dock bumpers
: rubber buffers mounted on the rear face of the side steps, to reduce impact damage when the vehicle is
reverting into a loading dock.
Support channels
: steel channels welded to the underside of the vehicle body (to the rear sill and support cross members
underneath the vehicle floor).
Diagonal braces
: steel profiles linking the side steps and dock bumpers with the support channels welded to the underside
of the vehicle body. The construction with support channels and diagonal braces aims to distribute the forces of a dock impact
over the rear sill and support cross members of the vehicle body and avoid damage as much as possible.
