Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Ford Escape (2009-2012) II generation | Kolchuga®
Protect your Ford Escape (2009-2012) II generation with Kolchuga® skid plates, crafted from durable 2 mm thick steel. This protection serves as a formidable shield for your engine and gearbox, ensuring the integrity of critical components against the rigors of the road. Engineered for perfect compatibility, it is designed to withstand impacts from various road hazards.
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 protection covers the gearbox and engine, featuring reinforcing ribs that enhance durability and shock absorption. Additionally, ventilation openings facilitate optimal airflow, helping to manage temperatures effectively. Many models also include service access openings for convenient oil and filter changes.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle from impacts caused by rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. Its robust design not only prevents damage but also minimizes corrosion and improves aerodynamics, contributing to better fuel efficiency. Installation is straightforward, mounting directly to 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.
