Ex-Guard Industries – A Truly American Brand

Humble Beginnings

Ex-Guard^®, is an American made product. A small team of friends, experienced in the front-end protection industry, envisioned a guard that would revolutionize the market. A guard made of more than just steel, one that could epitomize strength and redefine protection. This idea would then develop our 1/8” Corrosion Resistant Ex-Guard^® patented PVC coating. A bonded layer would add durability that both complemented and protected the steel. Finally, a proprietary hinge mechanism which allows single or dual hand accessibility options.

The time, energy, and technology built into the Ex-Guard design would create a product with high-impact resistance, economical maintenance, and most importantly, protection for the driver.

About Ex-Guard

From this prototype design to a successful international company, Ex-Guard^® Industries established a manufacturing facility in Des Moines, IA and introduced a line of guards to the North American trucking industry. A small dream that would move on to protect drivers, their trucks, and their lives. Our first and foremost objective is offering the right amount of coverage to keep drivers safe and trucks secure while on the road. Ex-Guard’s have the ability to sustain multiple wildlife collisions with little to no damage to the truck. For fleets, having a well-designed guard can help mitigate downtime expenses, loss of business opportunities, and overall truck repair expenses.

Custom Solutions

What have you been replacing? Headlights? Bumpers? What is your average annual downtime expense? Have you lost an opportunity from a truck in the shop?

From the Owner-Operator looking for peace of mind to the Maintenance Manager whose trucks battle dense, deer-populated routes, Ex-Guard will tailor fit a solution to your needs.

No Damage To Our Truck…

“This is from a DriveCam snapshot of the event where my driver hit several deer, within a couple of days of the Ex-Guard installation. No damage to our truck thanks to the deer guard. He stopped, looked the truck over, and continued on his way.”

– George Akerson | President | Dahlsten Truck Line | Lincoln, NE

“This is probably the best product and investment I have ever made! I was traveling on I-84 at 5 o’clock in the morning, approximately 20 miles East of Ogden, Utah, when I came across 3 mule deer at 70 MPH.  Without my Ex-Guard my truck would have been totaled!  Thank you for making such a great product.”
