For each lift truck up to 5 tons (11000 lbs) there is now the wuBump, a unique and user-friendly shock absorber. The wuBump was developed by Engineering office Wuylens and is completely 'made in Belgium'. On 1 March 2012 the wuBump will be launched onto the European market.

TVH - Thermote & Vanhalst, worldwide market leader in lift trucks and lift truck parts, is responsible for the exclusive sales in the Benelux and a number of other European countries.

Safe working!

From now on, the wuBump protects your driver, lift truck, load and warehouse infrastructure in case of collisions. The shock absorber has a simple design and is therefore easy to install on any lift truck up to 5 tons (11000 lbs). This is done by attaching two PE-belts to the driver's cab on the rear of the lift truck. When your lift truck collides with an obstacle, the wuBump absorbs the released collision energy. So good news for the driver, who no longer needs to be afraid of painful neck and back injuries, and for his employer who – in his turn – no longer has to deal with damage to loads, lift trucks or the infrastructure.

Material that can take a beating!

The CE-certified wuBump weighs 10 kg (22 lbs) and efficiently protects up to speeds of 10 km/u (6,4 m/h). The mobile shock absorber consists of one massive and one hollow cylinder that can slide together and that were made of a multi-layered elastomer. This is an extremely elastic (>400%) material which absorbs the energy of the collision and immediately retakes its original shape afterwards..

The composition of the wuBump makes it resistant against any effects from water, steam, UV light, ozone, oils, bases, acids and salts. The bumper is suitable for applications at temperatures between -40°C up to +120°C.

The wuBump is exclusively available via TVH in the Benelux, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland. TVH also offers the shock absorber for sale in other countries.
