This robust protection serves as a formidable shield for your oil pan, gearbox, and engine, ensuring that critical components remain intact against road hazards. Designed specifically for your vehicle, it offers peace of mind during your travels.
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 |
Coverage areas include the radiator, gearbox, and engine, ensuring comprehensive protection against potential damage. The shield features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that allow for optimal airflow, maintaining effective thermal management while preventing overheating. Additionally, service access openings facilitate easy maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
This skid plate effectively protects against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory points without any drilling or modifications required. This ensures that your vehicle retains its original design while enhancing its protective capabilities.
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.
