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 |

Designed to cover critical areas, this skid plate protects the radiator, gearbox, and engine. The construction features reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings to ensure optimal airflow. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick maintenance, ensuring that your vehicle remains in peak condition.
Kolchuga® skid plates provide reliable protection against road hazards such as rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. By absorbing impacts, they prevent damage to vital components, thereby reducing maintenance costs and prolonging vehicle life. Installation is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling.
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.
