Bumper Type U2
Lightweight protection, available in two pipe diameters: Ø60.3 mm and Ø76.1 mm.
Lightweight Design for Protection
The Bumper Type U2 is designed for lightweight protection, suitable for use in areas where light impacts occur. It features a U-shape that provides two anchoring points, ensuring efficient safety at locations such as control cabinets and production line ends.
Available in Two Sizes
This bumper comes in two diameters: Ø60.3 mm and Ø76.1 mm. Each size caters to different levels of resistance, allowing for targeted protection depending on the specific hazards present in a workspace.
The U2 type bumper is the lightest hoop in the U family, available in two tube diameters: 60.3 mm and 76.1 mm.
The U shape means two anchoring points and one continuous element protecting the space between them. It is the simplest possible geometry for point protection: the hoop stands in front of what it shields and takes the impact instead of it.
What a light hoop protects
U2 is specified where the hazard is a scrape, a pallet catching on something, or a wheel riding up during a manoeuvre — not a strike at speed. That is the usual case around control cabinets, internal hydrants, structural columns and the ends of conveyors.
- control cabinets and distribution boards in the hall
- ends of conveyors and production lines
- structural columns along transport routes
- internal hydrants and fire points
Two diameters, two classes of resistance
A 60.3 mm tube is enough where pallet trucks and pedestrians move. At 76.1 mm the hoop takes a knock from a counterbalance truck without permanent bending. The installation effort is identical — same anchoring, same labour — so where there is doubt, the heavier tube is the answer.
When to move to U3 or U4
If the zone sees impacts at working speed rather than mere scrapes, choose U3 with its reinforced construction at the same dimensions. Where tall vehicles are the hazard, U4 with its increased height is the right answer.
