EVRCoat™ Protection
Our proprietary PVC coating is more than 1/8-inch thick and built to resist UV exposure, rust and road salt. Its self-healing properties help the finish stay protected through years of demanding service.
Long-haul protection depends on more than size. Ex-Guard combines a resilient exterior coating with high-tensile steel engineered to absorb impact without adding unnecessary weight.
Our proprietary PVC coating is more than 1/8-inch thick and built to resist UV exposure, rust and road salt. Its self-healing properties help the finish stay protected through years of demanding service.
Carefully selected 8-gauge or 11-gauge steel balances strength, rigidity and weight—delivering proven front-end protection without overloading the truck.
NEW! ClearZone® CMS Compatible: Ex-Guard XM, XG and EX Generation 3 guards are the only guards that have been tested and verified by the collision mitigation system (CMS) radar manufacturer to fall within their established “Verification Zone” while at the same time avoiding the radar’s “Keep-Out Zones”. This aids in allowing the CMS to function properly and without inhibition. Ex-Guard has been verified to meet the requirements of CMS radar systems for Freightliner®, Kenworth®, Peterbilt®, International®, Volvo®, Mack® and Western Star® as of August 1, 2024.
Open, close and secure your Ex-Guard with a repeatable process designed for daily inspections and maintenance access.
