Abstract

A fully adjustable bumper system (200) that absorbs impact and thereby, avoids damage to the bumper (120). The bumper system (200) includes a bumper assembly (120) mounted to a vertically pivoting assembly (100) through horizontally (130) and vertically (140) adjustable assemblies. A stop assembly (110) is attached to the vertically pivoting assembly (140) and allows the bumper assembly (120) to pivot away from an applied force and then causes the bumper assembly (120) to return to its position with the force is removed. The bumper system (200) can be bolted, welded or otherwise fixedly attached to either the frame or rails (7) of a trailer or truck for ease of installation.
