Overview
The Torque Fitness TANK™ Bumper Kit is a protective accessory set designed to safeguard your TANK sled and your facility. Consisting of four durable urethane rubber bumpers, this kit is engineered to mount directly to the pushing sides of the sled's handles. These bumpers act as a high-impact buffer, preventing damage to gym walls, doors, or other equipment in the event of an accidental collision during high-intensity training sessions.

Performance Benefits
Facility Protection: Essential for high-traffic commercial gyms or garage gyms with limited runway space. The bumpers absorb energy, preventing gouges in drywall or dents in door frames.
Equipment Longevity: Protects the TANK’s powder-coated handles from chipping or scratching during transport or use, preserving the sled's aesthetic and preventing surface rust.
Noise Reduction: Softens the sound of contact if the sled is parked against a wall or bumped during a turnaround.
Secure Fit: The urethane material provides a firm, non-slip buffer that remains stable even under the high-vibration conditions of sled training.
Maintenance and Care
Fastener Check: Periodically check the bolts securing the bumpers to the handles. Sled vibration can cause hardware to settle, so ensure they remain tight to prevent the bumpers from shifting.
Cleaning: Wipe the urethane surfaces with a damp cloth or mild gym disinfectant to remove chalk, sweat, and dirt.
Impact Inspection: While highly durable, check for significant gouges or tears in the rubber after a heavy collision to ensure the bumper still provides adequate protection.
UV Exposure: Like all rubber/urethane products, storing the sled indoors will prevent the bumpers from becoming brittle over time due to UV exposure.
Warranty Information
Torque Fitness provides a standard 1-year warranty on parts, materials, and workmanship for the Bumper Kit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these fit the TANK M1 or M1S? A: No. The handle geometry on the M1 series is different, and this specific set is sized for the larger M4 and MX models.
Q: Do I need to buy extra bolts? A: No. The kit is designed to be installed using the hardware that is already on your TANK sled handles.
Q: Are they hard or soft rubber? A: They are made of high-density urethane rubber, which is firm enough to provide structural protection but has enough "give" to absorb impact energy without shattering.
Q: Do I need them if I only use the sled on an open field? A: They are less critical for field use, but they still provide a protective barrier for the handles when loading the sled into a vehicle or storing it against other equipment.
