FLEXIBILITY

By creating a rebound effect to cushion the impact, rather than acting as a rigid wall that can cause significant human and material damage, the engineering behind Flexiguard-FRT protections significantly reduces the impact of a collision.

The panels create a protective net with a rebound effect thanks to the great flexibility of its high-quality components.

HOW DOES THE REBOUND EFFECT WORK?

Made from multiple robust belts interwoven vertically and horizontally, as well as an ultra-resistant vinyl fabric to form a flexible net, these belts are tensioned with multiple tensioners making the side protection very resistant.

During an accident, the net therefore has the effect of cushioning the impact without causing an abrupt stop, considerably reducing damage and injuries.

Robust, safe, and resistant to shock and wear

Unlike metal side guards which form a solid wall-like barrier, Flexiguard-FRT guards are robust yet flexible, significantly reducing the risk of serious injury, death, and damage to the vehicles involved.*

In contrast side skirts, commonly used for fuel-saving purposes only, have no resistance to impact, offering no road protection for either people or equipment.

WE PROTECT:

DURABILITY

Flexiguard-FRT protections can easily withstand extreme winter conditions, harsh weather, and high temperatures without any difficulty.

ESTIMATED LONGEVITY*

The galvanized steel structure has an estimated longevity of 12 years. The same steel structure can be reused on a new semi-trailer.

* The estimated longevity of components is calculated on the basis of an accident-free vehicle.

Ease of installation and maintenance
INSTALLATION

Easy to install thanks to their flexibility and modular design, Flexiguard-FRT aerodynamic side protectors attach to the underbody of the trailer via the floor crossmembers, regardless of the semi-trailer manufacturer.

  • No welding or specialized tools are required
  • Installation time: 3 h 30
  • Labor required: 2 people

MAINTENANCE

The vinyl fabric retracts easily, making it easier to service your semi-trailer in 3 simple steps:

  1. Release tension from the center and bottom belts
  2. Maintain tension on the top belt
  3. Slide the canvas from left to right or vice versa, like a curtain
Reduced maintenance costs and equipment protection

In addition to protecting other road users, Flexiguard-FRT also protects the trailer itself.

By absorbing side impacts, this side protection reduces damage to the semi-trailer, reducing repair costs and fleet downtime after an accident.

Investing in Flexiguard-FRT side protections generates a rapid return on investment (ROI) through fuel savings, reduced repair costs, and increased vehicle longevity.
