yeah i did a quick google search and found a company that made them and a whole other range of similar products (in TN is this the same company?)

i dont know what a small larer of foam on the LBR is gonna do to stop damage from freight that weighs thousands of lbs
not much id say

if your operators are driving like maniacs bumpers are not the answer, its barely a band-aid

in addition this company makes work platforms with forks (to simulate an order picker) with no railings or operator fall restraint, not even a plate to protect limbs from the workings of the mast

the rear bumbers are pretty useless too
most rear side strikes with forklifts that damage merch is from turning which these dont protect against
theyre more designed for backing up straight
infact it looks like if you catch one on a turn youd just rip them right off

there was another thread on the forums here about attachments and it got a little silly
the inventor actually started it as a rant that the FL industry was being unfair and wouldnt approve his product for use (factory stamp of approval)

lol it was a ball hitch that hooked up to the tow bar on the back
he
like many others
confused the definition of the term "tow bar"

its for the towing and recovery of the forklift
not for towing trailers

its kinda sad in his case cause he was an engineer who pretty much didnt do any research on the physics of forklifts
and wouldnt grasp the concept that his invention made the truck less stable and more dangerous

here is the link to the thread
