Mule Deer at 70mph!

“That’s after hitting a mule deer at 70mph in Wyoming! This step was the only thing that got bent, when the deer came around the side after impact. These things work, I can tell you that!”
-Sam Moon | Owner/Operator

PUT TO THE TEST!

“Well, we ran a test with one of them for a little while and hit two deer within three days of putting it on. No damages to the truck in either situation. Then today, one of our trucks was involved an a side swipe incident and the other vehicle made contact with our front end on the side of the truck and the bumper minimized the damages. The black guards have also added quite a bit to the aggressive stance and presence of the aesthetics our trucks. Now the rest of our trucks seem naked. LOL!”

Collision Mitigation Systems

COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEMS

Collision mitigation systems are becoming increasingly popular and for a very good reason. Per a report from one of the fleets I work with, they have experienced a 40% decrease in front-end collisions. These systems coordinate a single forward radar sensor or group of sensors, the adaptive cruise, and the braking component of late model tractors. The front radar sensor is in an extremely vulnerable and exposed position. This fact, combined with the reality that the system is not designed to “see” animals, gives further justification to equipping your tractor(s) with Ex-Guard front end protection.

The Ex-Guard design team has carefully designed all our guards so they do not interfere with the radar beam of the collision mitigation equipment. As new designs enter the market, we are working to quickly manufacture mounting brackets for those designs to ensure full functionality of these safety features. Rest assured, Ex-Guard has you covered.
