On of these is the step bumper. A steel bumper is not the same with the conventional
bumpers. While bumper is a standard part of the car that is attached both on the
front and the rear so as to protect the vehicle from collision especially on low
impact. Bumpers are usually made of plastic, aluminum, rubber, light metal or
sheet metal and can be seen on all vehicles.
The step bumper is exclusively for large vehicles like SUVs and trucks but not
cars. The step bumper is bolted on the bumper and made from reinforced steel,
much thicker than the regular bumper to give additional strength on the vehicle
making it more efficient when collision occurs. The like the bumper, step bumper
functions as a protection to the front and rear of the vehicle. But what makes
it different is its higher tolerance from damage. Step bumper also gives extra
towing capacity to the vehicle making it more efficient during out of town trips.
Aside from reinforced steep, step bumpers are also made from plastic polymers
with the same characteristic as that of the steel. As an aesthetic, step bumper
projects a tougher front and rear making look good and perform better.
