Backstop is an AUTOMATIC
REVERSE BRAKING SYSTEM that reacts to pressure.
It applies a moving vehicle's brakes instantly upon contact with
another object, minimizing the damage and injury from reverse
motion collisions. |
Backstop automatically
activates the brakes when light pressure (0.05 psi) is
applied to the rear bumper. The instant any stable object (ex. a
loading dock, fire hydrant, baby carriage, tree, vehicle, bystander,
etc.) comes into contact with the
touch-sensitive bumper, the displaced air from the rubber
sensor is detected by the control unit and switches the B.A.S.V.
(Brake Activating Solenoid Valve), thus releasing normal brake
air-pressure through the double check valve. This seals the line from
the driver's foot-brake, and proceeds to activate the relay valve,
automatically applying and locking the vehicle's brakes. When the brakes
are locked, the vehicle cannot move until the driver shifts out of
reverse gear. |

How Is
Backstop Installed? |
|
| The entire Reverse Braking System has been
specially engineered for over-all
efficiency. It comes in an easy-to-install
kit, and is designed to attach to the rear of a vehicle that is
equipped with air brakes. The rubber sensor is usually
located on the vehicle's rear under-run bar, but multiple sensors
can also be fitted at various other locations depending on the
level of protection required. Any number of sensors can be
inter-connected, affording increased protection. |
|

| Backstop CAN BE INSTALLED by
your fire equipment distributor, your fire truck repair center, or you

installation time is 3-4 hours. |
