Many of our Guardian deer guards are now being used for emergency vehicle protection; customer feedback tells us that this type of protection is critical when making emergency calls and traveling at high speeds in rural areas always presents the risk of hitting a deer, which can cause major damage to the vehicle, as well as the delay of responding to an emergency.
The Guardian deer guard is mounted directly to the frame which greatly increases the strength of the guard versus other brush guards & grille guards. The design of the Full and Wrap Around guards also helps prevent deer from going under the vehicle or through the windshield because the deer is pushed off to the side of the vehicle. Deer guards feature heavy duty steel uprights, thick rubber padding, and a solid welded construction. The Specialty Enterprises Guardian Deer Guard is built tough to limit damage to your vehicle during a collision.
The Center Section is mounted ito the vehicle frame and protects the most vital part of your vehicle. These guards will also protect the vehicle when slippery winter driving conditions exist, featuring heavy rubber padding to limit any damage to the front of the vehicle.
We use 3/8" thick heavy duty solid steel for the vertical uprights
The horizontal cross tubes are constructed of 1 1/4” (1 5/8 O.D.) 40 (thick wall) pipe
Guards are mounted directly to the frame via 1/4” thick x 3” x 3” solid steel brackets
The Full Guard is frame mounted and offers all the safety and reliability of the Center Section, and also gives you additional head lamp protection by adding bolt on wings that extend out to offer full coverage for the front of the vehicle. The Full Guard is designed to protect vehicles that are used in rural areas from sustaining major damage in a collision. The guards are designed so that when a deer is hit the animal will be pushed off to the side of the vehicle similar to the way a snow plow pushes snow; this approach is critical because major vehicle damage is common when the deer goes under the vehicle or through the windshield. Customer testimonials point out that in most instances there is little or no vehicle damage or or deer guard after a deer strike.
Each Guardian deer guard features 100% solid welded construction
Each Guardian grille guard is frame mounted, whereas most of our competitors mount their push guards on the bumper. The frame mounted concept significantly increases the strength of the grille guard because the pushing/crashing weight is transferred to the frame of the vehicle versus the weaker bumper.
What happens when you hit a deer at 60MPH without a deer guard?
The Wrap Around Guard adds more vehicle protection because the deer guards wrap around the front sides of the vehicles completely covering the headlamp area. Initially this product was only available to be installed on SUV’s because of its weight, however recent product upgrades have lowered the weight of the product and it can now be mounted on full and mid size vehicles without exceeding the weight limits suggested by the vehicles manufacturer. You may also upgrade from a Center Section or Full Guard to this guard for more protection.
