Safety Rider Mini Hump - GNR Technologies

Features

The Safety Rider is constructed from 100% recycled tires. Unlike asphalt humps, our mini humps are preformed for a uniform and consistent profile and a smooth, safe ride. The mini humps are simple to install and do not require road closures. Plastic shields are inserted into pre-drilled holes and the units are bolted down to keep from shifting. The Safety Rider can be easily removed for storage or relocation.

Mini speed humps are ideal for slowing traffic in school parking lots and crossings, playground areas, hospitals, parking facilities, and anywhere a slow traffic flow is required. Heavy load bearing truck traffic is ideally facilitated by the safety rider mini hump.

Molded highly reflective tape provides optimal visibility even on a dark night, alerting drivers well in advance.

Safety Rider mini humps are covered by a 3 year warranty.

Installations Instructions

Step 1.

Determine the location of the traffic calming device and sweep the surface clean of debris / dust. Use chalk to mark the center lines (parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the street) and border lines on the surface.

Step 2.

Assemble and position the units, starting from the center line (parallel to the direction of the street).

Note: Make sure the units are tight and well aligned before moving on to step 3.

Step 3.

Drill 9/16" diameter holes into the surface, through the existing holes of the placed units. The holes should be 3 1/2" - 4" deep in order to accommodate the plastic shields that are 3" long. After each hole is drilled, insert a plastic shield in order to keep the units from shifting.

Note: Make sure the holes are clear of dust and debris before installing the shields. (A portable blower is useful for this purpose)

Step 4.

Drive the shields down with the shield installation tool until the flange of the shield is flush with the installation surface. Insert a lag bolt with a washer and bolt down each unit. Do not over tighten.

Maintenance

Mini Humps require minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the bolts and tighten if necessary.
