Bumpers and fenders are implemented to protect both the impactor and the structure being impacted. Bumpers can be used to protect vehicles from damage but also walls, openings and various other areas. Wall protection is also a must with our rubber fender wall protectors which can help lessen the impact of fast-moving vehicles or other objects colliding with a wall.
