Westin Automotive has announced its receipt of U.S. Patent US D755,094 S for the PIT BAR Elite, a Westin Public Safety Division component option to the Elite system of front-end protection products.
Westin’s patented PIT Bar Elite design uniquely attaches to the Push Bumper Elite, the core product in the Elite system. It has a vehicle-specific contour design that provides the best “roll-off” for implementing PIT maneuvers, says the company. It is made from heavy-duty seven-gauge HRPO steel to withstand repeated on-the-job wear and tear. In a recent independent test, the Westin Public Safety Division Elite program exceeded the competition for sustained PIT maneuvering hits (over 125) and public safety vehicle protection standards, according to the company.
Westin Public Safety is a division of Westin Automotive Products Inc., in San Dimas, California, specializing in protective, active duty vehicle equipment. Westin Public Safety products include push bars, light channel options, wing wraps and PIT bars.
