The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
This skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the radiator, gearbox, and engine, ensuring that these vital components are shielded from rocks, ice, and road debris. Its design includes reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that enhance rigidity and facilitate optimal thermal management. Service access openings are incorporated, allowing for convenient maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates are engineered to absorb impacts, protecting against punctures that could result in oil or coolant loss. The installation process is straightforward, utilizing factory mounting points without the need for drilling or welding. This ensures a secure fit while maintaining the vehicle's original structure.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
