I am happy to announce that the folks at Prairie Industries have asked me to be their Western Montana dealer in their product line of aluminum Truck Defender Collision Protection Bumpers for semi, pick up, S.U.V, R.V and emergency vehicle bumpers, as well as their flatbeds and aluminum accessories.
I was first introduced to Truck Defender Bumpers and Prairie Industries about 7 years ago. I was looking for an aluminum front end replacement bumper for my 2001 Dodge that I had at the time. I had looked at numerous other manufacturer’s bumpers and was never overly impressed with the structural strength, quality of craftsmanship, or the overall look of the other bumpers on the market.
I came across Truck Defender Bumpers after starting some colts for a client who happened to have these bumpers on his trucks. I liked these bumpers so much I inquired about promoting and selling their line of aluminum semi, pick up, and S.U.V bumpers, as well as their flatbeds and aluminum accessories. I have been very happy dealing with the folks at Prairie Industries and their utmost professionalism and craftsmanship.
Truck Defender Bumpers are impressive to say the least, they are not only a great looking bumper but they are by far the strongest aluminum front end collision bumper on the market. Other aluminum bumper manufacturers use tubing for their bumpers that only provide a blow out rate of 300 psi. Truck Defender uses schedule 40 piping that has a blow out rate of 1,800 psi that’s 6 times the structural strength of the competitors. The rest of the bumper is made from formed Marine Grade 6061-T aluminum this is the same grade and type of aluminum used on the front of Ice Breaker ships. This gives the bumpers their added strength and flexibility, which again is something our competitors do not do and can not compete with.
The pick up truck bumpers use 1/4″ thick marine grade aluminum and 1 1/2″ schedule 40 piping. The semi bumpers are available with 3/8″ thick marine grade aluminum and 2″ or 3″ schedule 40 piping. Our competitors use aluminum tubing which is weaker and more susceptible to collisions and offers less protection.
Another great thing about these bumpers, is the fact that they are very light, yet extremely strong. On a comparison ratio of weight to strength to steel bumpers, aluminum far out preforms steel in terms of protection and durability. Aluminum will not rust and if you are familiar with the sub par front suspensions of today’s diesel pick up trucks, you know that any additional weight from a steel bumper is only going to put a tremendous amount of wear and tear on an already weak front end components.
In comparison, Truck Defender Bumpers weigh on average 120 pounds where as steel bumpers can weigh 350 -700 pounds. That is a huge difference in weight, and a lot of unnecessary stress to the front end of your vehicle. For protection that surpasses the competition. Lower cost and better protection equals less down time and money back in your pocket.
Truck Defender Bumpers are a custom built bumper for each individual application. This allows for more attention to detail, customization, and a higher quality of craftsmanship. Truck Defender bumpers are not being stamped out in some factory over seas or out of the United States. Truck Defender Bumpers are 100% made right here in the U.S.A, using only American made materials. They are proudly built by American workers, and come out of Vale, South Dakota.
Truck Defender Bumpers offer a wide range of options for your Semi, Pick up or S.U.V. Everything from painting, winch accommodations, logos, brands or business name. Applications for emergency vehicles as well.
Some of the benefits of Truck Defender bumpers are as follows:
– Truck defender accommodates for all OEM tow hooks, safety features and pull points.
-Protects the driver far better than factory OEM bumpers in all aspects of vehicle to vehicle collisions.
-Saves companies and owners thousands in costly vehicle repairs
-More importantly it saves owners and companies thousands,some times millions in lost wages and down time while a vehicle is rendered in-operable for days or weeks while they are being repaired.
-Especially in the oil related industry every day that a vehicle is not running is potentially costing owners and companies a fortune in down time.
-It is a small investment to protect a vehicle that is at least 15 times more in value.
-Lite but extremely strong, will not put unnecessary stress on the front end of the vehicle
-Stronger than steel
-Will pay for itself the first time the vehicle is in a accident.
-Is a must in any area where wildlife is present on the road way. 1 small game bird like a pheasant through the grill will stop a truck and render it useless until repaired
-Is a must in any area where you have heavy concentrated traffic and continuous road traffic and hazards
-Is a must in areas where there is a majority of dirt roads and ever changing weather that can effect the driving conditions greatly.
We are proud to introduce your company to what we feel is the Finest Animal and Vehicle Collision Protection on the market.
