Rear Impact Guard
Wabash National will soon introduce a new rear impact guard design, an option for its 53-foot dry van trailers. The RIG-16 rear underride guard is engineered to prevent underride in multiple offset, or overlap, impact scenarios.
The new guard is constructed of “advanced” high-strength steel. Its patent-pending design features two additional vertical posts and a longer, reinforced bumper tube, all of which are engineered to work together to absorb energy better and deflect rear impact at any point along the bumper. The new guard is fully galvanized to resist corrosion.
It’s in a limited production phase currently and will ramp up during the next 18 months.
