| 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 |

This skid plate covers the gearbox, engine, and transfer case, ensuring comprehensive protection. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock absorption, while strategically placed ventilation openings maintain optimal cooling. The design also includes service access openings for easy maintenance tasks.
The Kolchuga® skid plate provides exceptional protection against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. By reducing the risk of damage, it extends the lifespan of critical components and minimizes maintenance costs. Installation is straightforward, as the plate mounts directly to the factory points without the need for drilling or modifications.
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.
