REVERSE BRAKING SYSTEM
MINIMIZE DAM AGE TO SURROUNDING O B STA CL E S BACKSTOP applies the brakes instantly and automatically when a reversing vehicle contacts an obstacle.
C O S T SAVINGS Installing BACKSTOP minimizes damage costs to both the installed vehicle and surrounding obstacles. May reduce insurance premiums.
MINIMIZE VEHICLE DAMAGE BACKSTOP projects beyond the rear of the vehicle, minimizing collision damage to doors, lights, and rear steps.
MAXIMUM SA FETY BACKSTOP’S instant and ^ automatic braking system is much faster than a driver’s reaction time. The brakes remain applied until the driver manually releases the brakes by shifting the vehicle out of reverse gear.
