Since 2021, Utility Trailer’s Side Impact
Guard has offered improved safety on
our 3000R Ⓡ refrigerated trailers and
4000D-X Ⓡ dry vans and is available on
single-axle trailers to bolster protection
against trailer damage and serious injury.
During extensive trials,
the Utility Trailer SIG outperformed alternatives
and successfully prevented underride bodily
harm. Tests were performed using a standard
sedan's “dummy” driver perpendicularly striking
a fully loaded trailer at 35 mph.
Higher (27-inch) ground clearance than other aftermarket side impact guards eliminates trailer and guard damage in both loaded and unloaded trailers
Fully compatible with Utility’s Aerodynamic Side Skirt to improve safety without sacrificing performance
Prevents damage by avoiding contact with the trailer’s slider-brake hoses
Sealed with Scharpf self-healing undercoating for corrosion resistance
Leases are available for qualified customers
Available on 3000R reefers, 4000D-X Composite dry vans, and single-axle trailers by request
Safer Rides Save Lives
Limiting vehicles from sliding underneath a van trailer in the event of a crash,
the side impact guard (or side underride guard)
is another example of Utility Trailer’s
long-standing commitment to the safety of
every motorist sharing the roadway with our
products. Not only do our innovations stand out
in safety, they set the gold standard for
performance and reliability. Talk to a dealer
