A fixed buffer package installed at the rear of large vehicles to prevent rear-end collisions and protect vehicle underride safety. Primarily designed for temporary road safety maintenance construction applications. When parked behind construction zones, this device absorbs impact energy from rear-end collisions, safeguarding work areas and minimizing vehicle damage. All products undergo rigorous Japanese road safety testing and comply with international road safety regulations.
This device efficiently absorbs impact energy when vehicles are parked behind work zones, preventing following vehicles from underriding them in rear-end collisions, thereby ensuring worker safety.
What is "underride protection," and why is it so important?
Underride protection uses a sturdy buffer device to prevent smaller cars from sliding underneath larger vehicles during rear-end collisions. This is critical because in underride accidents, the smaller car's A-pillar is often sheared off, leading to passenger compartment crushing and high fatality rates. This product establishes a physical barrier and absorbs energy through high-strength aluminum construction and energy-absorption design, increasing survival chances for occupants in following vehicles.
How does the "honeycomb energy-absorption structure" work?
Similar to a car's crumple zone, upon impact the specially designed aluminum honeycomb structure undergoes controlled, orderly deformation through buckling. This extends collision duration, converting kinetic energy into internal energy through material deformation, which is then absorbed and dissipated. This prevents force from being directly transferred to the work vehicle and personnel.
Why is aluminum alloy chosen as the main material instead of ordinary steel?
Three major advantages: ① Lightweight (96kg facilitates installation and deployment); ② Corrosion Resistance (resists rust for long-term outdoor use); ③ Safety (no sparks generated upon impact, flame-retardant properties prevent secondary fires). This achieves optimal balance of strength, weight, and safety.
What exactly does "recoverability" mean? How is it achieved?
After moderate-intensity collisions (within design limits), the energy-absorbing module can be realigned, repaired, or have core components partially replaced by professionals to restore protective performance. This breaks through traditional "single-use" limitation through modular design and replaceable energy-absorbing cores, significantly reducing long-term operational costs.
What is the fundamental difference between its warning system and traditional reflective tape?
Traditional reflective tape provides passive reflection, relying on external light sources. This product integrates active lighting (LED strobe lights) with large-area, high-intensity reflective sheeting, creating a "active + passive" dual warning system. At night or in adverse conditions, LED strobe lights actively emit strong flashes, providing longer warning distances and greater conspicuity than passive reflection.
Besides the scenarios listed, what other situations or vehicle types is it suitable for?
Suitable for any specialized vehicle that needs to temporarily stop in moving traffic lanes for low-speed or static work. Examples include: highway mobile repair vehicles, telecommunications emergency repair vehicles, broadcast vans, and mobile cranes. The core criterion is whether "the area behind the vehicle constitutes a high-risk work zone."
Will installation affect the original vehicle structure or its annual inspection?
Proper installation should not. The product attaches using dedicated brackets and bolts to the vehicle's frame, constituting an add-on safety enhancement. In most regions, such safety equipment complies with regulations and doesn't require vehicle registration changes. However, notify relevant authorities after installation and keep qualification certificates for inspections.
What routine maintenance is required?
Simple routine maintenance: ① Inspection: Check connecting bolts and structural integrity; ② Cleaning: Maintain reflective sheeting and light covers for optimal visibility.
