Is 12 ton bender strong enough for sliders?

I would just use HREW for a bumper. Without getting into a lengthy discussion, the strength of tubing/pipe isnt completely based on thickness. .120 wall DOM will own .125 rigid conduit. It has to do with the fact that the DOM is the exact same wall thickness throughout, and doesnt have a large seam. This is a basic overview.... do some searching around and you can find out all the details.

So is rigid RHEW? or some other prosses?

DOM = made with no seam, could just about call it a steel bar with a hollow core, all the rest of the diffrent tube/pipe all have welded seams = they are made from flat sheet/strips and rolled/bent in to a tube then the seam is welded which is why DOM tube is so strong (trying for a simple explanation someone correct me if I'm wrong)
