Kolchuga® sets new standards of safety and reliability

We use revolutionary technologies and patents, skillfully designed and implemented in aluminium or steel.



 

SAFETY SYSTEM
Due to the innovative Take-Off® system we have been
able to accomodate unobstructed engine movement
during a frontal collision, allowing passive safety
systems to function as designed by the manufacturer,
preventing engine intrusion into the cabin during
severe accidents. During a collision the skid plates
are released from their holders when the load-bearing
elements of the car body are deformed.
 
ENERGY ABSORPTION BEAMS
OFF-Energy® beams attached to the plates are
designed with the ability to deform and deflect 
impact energy in the event of collision with 
a large road hazard or other vehicle.
COOLING SYSTEM
To prevent engine and gearbox
overheating, our plates include customized
vents to ensure necessary airflow for heat
rejection from the engine, gearbox and
exhaust while minimizing drag.
RESILIENCE SYSTEM 
Special stamped sections of our plates assure
additional strength and rigidity in areas most
likely to encounter road debris and hazards.
SERVICE SYSTEM
We know our customers require a skid plate to not only
provide protection but also be easily removable for
service. The use of Quick WittED® system allows for
routine maintenance, including oil change and filters,
requiring the removal of only the section where
maintenance is required.
  STIFFENING ELEMENTS

Structural reinforcement dome shapes include
drain holes to provide moisture protection, 
increased rigidity, resistance to mechanical
stress, reliability and durability.

 

Additional wings and side protection

Our plate designs include side protection wings,
helping to prevent damage to brake linings, fuel lines
and car wiring inside the engine compartment as
well as contamination from snow and mud.

Reinforcement ribs

Combining advanced technologies,
we created a light and reliable steel skid plate.
To achieve this, we use bulk forming, a type
of stamping process.

Shock mount

Our plate mounts are made of high quality
rubber which is compliant and highly durable,
withstanding both freezing and high temperatures
reducing unwanted noise.

 

Aerodynamics
The flat base of our skid plates form a laminar air flow along the vehicles' underbody, improving aerodynamics.
Wind tunnel testing has shown that up to 30% of aerodynamic drag on a typical vehicle is due to an uncovered underbody.

ECOLOGY

We take pride in manufacturing environmentally friendly products.

All materials can be recycled after the expiration of their useful life

We utilize energy efficient production methods and materials.
