Speed Cushion - 75mm High.

CODE:

Our 75mm-high Speed Cushion is a heavy duty speed calming device used to slow trucks and other heavy vehicles to less than 5km/h.

Unlike Speed Humps, Speed Cushions are a low-impact speed calmer – their longer profile spreads the weight across the ground making this a durable option for industrial areas where heavy vehicles – carrying heavy loads – are crossing regularly. 

Designed to simulate the effect of typical asphalt humps, Speed Cushions are also effective for slowing cars and utes in addition to trucks and larger vehicles.

To slow vehicles to 10-20km/h, check out our 50mm High Speed Cushion.

Key Features

  • Slows cars and trucks in shared areas
  • Disperses the weight load making for a less abrupt bump
  • Tongue-and-groove interlocking rubber modules for increased strength and fast installation
  • Fully modular design to build the desired length for your situation
  • Anti-skid design
  • Bolt down application makes for easy removal or relocation if required
  • Middle sections feature hi-vis yellow panels
  • Forklift-passable
  • 2 fastener types available depending on your application (see options below)

Technical Specifications

  • Material: Heavy duty recycled rubber
  • Colour: Black with hi-vis yellow panels
  • Centre Modules: 500(W) x 1100(L) x 75(H)mm
  • End Caps: 250(W) x 1100(L) x 75(H)mm

How Sizing Works

Width is the direction extending across the road (kerb to kerb), whereas length is the distance the vehicle travels over the hump (front wheel to back wheel).

Because centre modules are 500mm wide and end caps are 250mm wide, 1m lengths can be achieved i.e., if your desired width is 2m, you would use 3 x 500mm centre modules and 2 x 250mm end caps.

If you have any questions about choosing your desired width, please enquire below and our team will be more than happy to assist.

FAQs.

Are Speed Cushions suitable for heavy vehicles such as trucks carrying freight containers?

Yes – due to their large surface area, when installed on solid concrete or asphalt, speed cushions can handle heavy vehicles, including trucks carrying fully loaded shipping containers. For best results, the speed cushions should be positioned so that trucks drive straight over them; avoiding corners and turns will maximise their lifespan.

How does this product adapt to different vehicle sizes?

Its elongated profile provides a graduated slowing effect, minimising the jolt on larger vehicles while still effectively controlling speed.

Is this system suitable for routes used by forklifts?

Yes, it's crafted to be forklift-passable, ensuring that warehouse operations continue without interruption.

Can the speed control system be tailored to specific road dimensions?

Absolutely, the modular design allows for easy length adjustments to match various road widths and conditions.

How visible is the system to drivers?

With its high-visibility yellow panels, it stands out to alert drivers in advance, promoting safer navigation.

Is the system difficult to install or move?

Not at all, it's designed for quick installation and can be easily relocated thanks to its modular, lightweight construction.

What our clients are saying.

Hear what our customers have to say about working with Vanguard to get their safety projects completed.

First class from initial conversation through to post launch. We will definitely be using Vanguard Safety again in the future. The level of care and commitment to us was 10/10.

Andy Maguire
Capital Project Manager, Suntory Oceania

Extremely helpful and able to visualise what we required onsite almost immediately. Vanguard Safety was able to source parts quickly and we were able to complete installation on a non-operational day, which allows us to remain open during normal working hours.

Courtenay Brock-Kareroa
Operations Supervisor, Cleanaway Waste Management

Dealing with Vanguard Safety was a great experience - they offered great advice and explained how the process would flow. The task was completed as requested and on time; quality of work was exceptional and all housekeeping was managed well.
