Builder of Compliant Truck Side Guards
“As part of U.S. DOT’s duty to disseminate research results through the technology transfer process, we engage stakeholders to increase their awareness of technologies that can potentially improve the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and others who share the road with large trucks in urban areas. Truck Side Guards for vulnerable road users are devices intended to sweep aside pedestrians and bicyclists in side-impact crashes, instead of being swept underneath the vehicle. Side Guards are one of a number of truck safety features that can help save lives, particularly in urban areas. Today, these devices are required in 47 countries. Over the last five years, a growing number of U.S. cities and commercial insurers have also begun requiring or encouraging their use.”

Side Underride Guards
For Semi-Trailers
Kits starting at $2,495 per side*
AngelWing™ side impact guards offer side underride protection to vehicle passengers in the event of a collision between a passenger car and the sides of large trucks or semi-trailers.
AngelWing™ side guards form a protective shield or barrier between the vulnerable road user and the space between the front and rear wheels (underride) of large city trucks. Side guards work by engaging the vehicle’s current safety features like airbags, seat belts, and anti-crash avoidance systems and prevents the vehicle coming into and from going under the trailer.
Fully tested by the Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and certified by AirFlow Deflector, passenger compartment intrusion (CPI) is prevented when a side crash occurs at speeds of up to 40 mph.
