Hendrickson AeroClad bumper for International ProStarInternational has announced it will offer a seat with rollover protection as an option on its ProStar Class 8 trucks.

IMMI’s RollTek safety system combines seat belt technology and side airbag protection in the event of a rollover. It has a sensor located behind the seat that monitors the angular position of the truck and activates when it detects an imminent rollover.

When activated, the system deploys side-roll airbags, tightens the seat belt and lowers the seat to help reduce injury risk and maximize safety for drivers.
