Speed Cushion – 50mm High.

CODE:

$190 – $226 per metre (ex GST)

Our 50mm-high Speed Cushion is a heavy duty speed calming device used to slow trucks and other heavy vehicles to 10-20km/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.

  • Slows cars and trucks in shared areas
  • Disperses the weight load making for a less abrupt bump
  • Modular design
  • Convenient interlocking system can be configured to any length
  • Bolt down application makes for easy removal or relocation if required
  • Middle sections feature hi-vis yellow panels
  • Forklift-passable

To slow vehicles to less than 10km/h, check out our 75mm High Speed Cushion.

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 the speed cushion manage heavy truck traffic?

It's engineered to disperse the weight load effectively, accommodating heavy vehicles without compromising the structure.

What makes this speed cushion a 'low impact' solution?

While it slows down traffic to safer speeds, its design is subtle enough not to cause significant disruption or damage to vehicles.

Can the speed cushion be configured for different road widths?

Absolutely, the interlocking system allows for flexible configuration to fit a variety of road dimensions.

Is installation permanent, or can it be adjusted later?

The speed cushion can be easily relocated thanks to its modular and portable design, offering flexibility for future changes in road layout or usage.

How visible is the speed cushion to oncoming traffic?

It features high-visibility yellow panels in the middle sections to ensure it stands out and alerts drivers in advance.
