Buffers

D Section (hollow)

Normally placed around the edges of the trolley (between corner buffers) to prevent damage to door jambs. These are fitted by pushing a (off-cut) metal strip along the centre of the section and screwing through into the side of the trolley. The head of the screw will pop through the outer rubber leaving a small hole. If the strip is to be fitted on a rounded corner, this should be of at least 50 mm radius to prevent buckling of the strip.

Corner

Corner buffers can be fitted to new or existing trolleys with square corners, reducing damage to walls and door jambs. They are fitted by four pan head self tappers, which are recessed down inside each arm of the buffer (No. 10 x 1” or similar). Being made from TPE they are very resistant to abrasion and chemicals. The end profile is matched to the ‘D’ section rubber strip.

Leg—round TPE

These are used to prevent damage to corridor walls. The buffers are placed onto tubular legs just before the castors. When a trolley approaches a wall the buffers make contact first and freely revolves on the tubing, thus rolling the trolley along the wall so it causes no damage.

In the case of 25.4 mm square tubing the urethane buffers are supplied with a 32 mm hole, together with a ‘dress-cap’ with a 25.4 mm square inner and a 32 mm round outer.
