This robust protection serves as a shield for your engine and oil pan, guarding against potential damage from road debris and obstacles. With Kolchuga®, you ensure the longevity of your vehicle's critical components while maintaining performance.
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 skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the engine and gearbox, ensuring that these vital components are shielded from impacts. It features reinforcing ribs that enhance its structural integrity, while strategically placed ventilation openings allow for optimal airflow, preventing overheating. Additionally, some models come equipped with service access openings for easy maintenance.
Kolchuga® protection effectively defends against damage from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, extending the lifespan of your vehicle. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a seamless fit.
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.
