A SMARTER FLEET PROTECTION DECISION

Why Guards?

Start with the front-end damage your fleet is already absorbing. Then compare the material, engineering and daily operation that determine whether a guard earns its place on the truck.

01 / MAKE THE COST VISIBLE

Damage Doesn’t Stop at the Repair Invoice.

Build the case from the operating data your fleet already has. Two reviews usually reveal the pattern.

  1. Audit the Incidents

    Review fixed-object, animal and low-speed front-end events together. Repeated minor incidents matter because they add repair time and disrupt availability.

  2. Find the Spend Inside M&R

    Count recent purchases for hoods, headlamps, radiators, bumpers and collision-mitigation components. Add labor, towing and days out of service.

Once the recurring expense is visible, the question changes.

Which Guard Is Built to Work With the Truck?

02 / WHY EX-GUARD

Protection Is More Than Adding Weight.

Compare what carries the load, how the guard integrates with the truck, and whether drivers and technicians can live with it every day.

MATERIAL + GAUGE

Steel. Not Aluminum. Gauge Matters.

Ex-Guard uses high-tensile steel tubing. Depending on the series, that tubing is 8 or 11 gauge—balancing strength and rigidity with operating weight instead of relying on a light material alone.

  • High-tensile steelBuilt to resist and distribute impact forces.
  • 8 or 11 gauge tubingSeries-specific construction matched to the application.
  • Strength-to-weight balanceProtection without treating weight as the only measure.

CLEARZONE®

Work With the Truck’s Safety Systems

Generation 3 XG and EX guards are designed around radar verification and keep-out zones to support proper collision-mitigation operation while protecting more of the front end.

EVRCOAT™

Protect the Guard From the Road

EVRCoat is a thick proprietary PVC coating—not powder coat—designed to resist corrosion, chips, UV exposure, road salt and cold.

XERO-G™

Keep Daily Access Easy

Included on XG Generation 3 guards, Xero-G reduces the effort required to raise and lower the guard by more than 95% for easier under-hood access.

04 / BUILD THE BUSINESS CASE

Put Your Fleet Data Behind the Decision.

Start with one collision example, then model your own mix of trucks, claims, repair spend and downtime.
