Peruutuspuskurit

Peruutuspuskurit, often translated as reverse bumpers or parking bumpers, are protective elements designed to absorb impact during low-speed maneuvers, particularly when reversing. Their primary function is to mitigate damage to a vehicle's bodywork and surrounding objects. These devices are typically made from durable materials like rubber, plastic, or composite, chosen for their ability to deform and rebound, thereby dissipating impact energy.

The design of peruutuspuskurit can vary significantly. Some are integrated into the vehicle's existing bumper structure, often as a more robust or slightly protruding section. Others are aftermarket additions, mounted either to the bumper or directly to the chassis. These can range from simple rubber pads to more elaborate, multi-part systems. Their installation is usually straightforward, often involving bolts or strong adhesive.

Peruutuspuskurit are particularly common on commercial vehicles, such as vans, trucks, and forklifts, where the risk of accidental contact is higher due to frequent and complex maneuvering in confined spaces. However, they are also found on some passenger cars, especially in regions where parking spaces are tight or where drivers may be less experienced. The effectiveness of a peruutuspuskuri is dependent on the speed of impact and the material and design of the bumper itself. They are not intended to protect against high-speed collisions.
