HGV Rear Under-run
A Continued Investment in Safety
Building on our excellent track record and expertise, we have continued to invest in the development of Rear Under-Run Protection Devices (RUPD), making Hope Technical Developments Ltd one of the market leaders. Our customers benefit from our RUPD in-house test facility and can be confident that their products are witnessed and approved by the VCA. VCA is the designated UK Approval Authority and a technical service for all type approvals to automotive EC Directives. Type approval is the confirmation that production samples of a design will meet specified performance standards. An RUPD is designed to prevent the impacting vehicle from getting wedged under the HGV and is developed to cause the crumple zone of the impacting car to absorb energy. Under-run protection systems must comply with certain geometrical requirements to achieve this result. We’ve designed and pro-duced a fixed and swing back option that varies in dimension as part of our HGV product range.
Our Optional Extras
Audible warning systems are available for our swing back HGV products. These systems use the latest technology to alert the driver if contact is made with an object while reversing. Our swing back audible warning system has been proven to prevent damage to both vehicles and property.
