ABSTRACT:
A loading dock including a dock wall having a dock opening, and an engaging member (e.g., a resilient head pad) positioned adjacent to the dock opening. The engaging member is mounted for vertical movement relative to the dock wall, and the engaging member includes a front face adapted to engage a back of a vehicle to accommodate relative vertical movement between the back of the vehicle and the dock wall. A base member is secured to the loading dock, and the engaging member is vertically movably mounted to the base member. A urethane coating between the engaging member and base member provides a low friction interface therebetween. The engaging member is interconnected with the base member via a tether member that is formed from an extension of a cover on the engaging member.
