Rear collision protection for lorry - has downward sloping supports to allow grid to deform onto road

摘要

The rear collision protection for the lorry has a trailing support frame (5) pivoted from the chassis and having a crash bar (7) at the rear. If struck the bar and frame are forced to the ground where supports under the bar provide a secure fitting. The frame allows the impact force to be absorbed without damaging the vehicle and chassis. It also prevents small vehicles from sliding under the vehicle in a rear collision.
