 WHAT
IS HELP®?
HELP® is an acronym for High
Energy Level Polymers.
The polymer is the base polyurethane material especially
developed for our bumpers which absorbs the high energy
levels created when objects collide.
WHY ENERGY ABSORBING BUMPERS?
“Energy absorbing bumpers protect the vehicle
from damage during repeated impacts of 5 to 10 m.p.h.
They reduce down time and maintenance and insurance
costs by protecting the body from damages normally incurred
in minor accidents.”
Handbook For Purchasing Small Transit Vehicle prepared
by Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Bureau
of Public Transportation.
 BENEFITS
OF HELP® BUMPERS
Reduced Insurance Costs. Less body
damage to your vehicle leads to lower premiums. HELP®
Bumpers also protect objects struck by your vehicles,
resulting in fewer outside claims and reduced liability
from low-speed collisions.
No Maintenance. An energy absorbing
polyurethane outer shell is backed with an aluminum
structure that transmits residual impact forces to the
vehicle chassis. The unit is puncture resistant, self-contained
and self-restoring.
Reduced Vehicle Downtime. No damage
to vehicle leads to reduced downtime. Less time out
of service translates into increased revenues.

TECHNOLOGY
Each HELP® bumper is an energy
absorbing system for repetitive impact
absorption. The system is composed of Reaction
Injection Molded,
self-restoring, polyurethane modules that are extremely
durable.
MODULES
Specifically formulated black urethane
material expressly designed for repeated impact protection
under wide temperature variances.
