“This new generation of Ex-Guard helps further fulfill our
mission to protect our customer’s most valuable assets with the
safest, smartest and strongest products,” said Ryan Holt, General
Manager of Ex-Guard. “Our previous generations of guards helped
major fleets decrease their towable accidents up to 80%. This
generation of guards take that protection one step further;
making them easier to lift, taller, with more bars of protection,
stronger latching and verified as being compliant with all
collision mitigation systems on the market today.”
These 6 new features are available for order immediately and
will begin shipping in mid-August. More information can be found at
Ex-Guard.com.
- ClearZone® CMS Verified: Ex-Guard XG and EX Generation 3
guards are the only grille guards that have been verified by the
collision mitigation system (CMS) radar manufacturer to avoid the
radar’s “Keep-Out Zones.” This allows the CMS to function without
inhibition. Ex-Guard has been verified to meet the requirements of
CMS radar systems for Freightliner®, Kenworth®, Peterbilt®,
International®, Volvo®, Mack® and Western Star® as of August 1,
2024.
- Xero-G™ Lift Assist: XG Generation 3 guards include
Ex-Guard’s stunning Xero-G™ Lift Assist that reduces the effort to
raise and lower the guard by more than 95%! This allows drivers and
maintenance team members of any shape, size or strength the ability
to do under-hood inspections easily. This increases a fleet’s
ability to accommodate a more diverse driver set.
- LEVRLock™ Latches: LEVRLock features a new double cam
latch operation, ergonomic handle and a rattle-resisting,
adjustable design – making it by far the strongest and most durable
Ex-Guard latch ever.
- Extra Cross Bar & Height: Every XG model now
includes an additional 3”-7” of height, an additional cross bar and
30% smaller area around the CMS for maximum protection.
- License Plate Bracket Included: Every XG model also
includes our most popular XG-LP10 License Plate Bracket in the
price of the guard.
- Fewer SKUs: Generation 3 guards also now fit many more
models, meaning fewer styles and SKUs of guards are needed to
outfit a fleet. This allows both fleets and dealers to optimize
both space and budget in a tight trucking economy.
“For many years, Ex-Guard has been compliant with all of the
collision mitigation systems on the market. This year we were able
to verify them officially with the major radar and software
manufacturers,” mentioned Holt. “We’re especially excited about the
new Xero-G Lift Assist because drivers regardless of size, height
or strength need to be able to do their daily inspections. Xero-G
allows drivers to easily raise and lower the guard with minimal
effort. In testing, we found most drivers and maintenance teams
could raise and lower guards with a single finger.”
