Wabash’s rear impact guard for trailers

February 16, 2016

Wabash National RIG-16 Rear Underride Guard System Wabash National’s RIG-16 Rear Underride Guard System for its 53-foot dry van trailers is designed to prevent underride in multiple offset or overlap impact scenarios. The rear impact guard is constructed of high-strength steel and is designed with two additional vertical posts and a longer reinforced bumper tube, all of which are engineered to work together to absorb energy and deflect rear impact at any point along the bumper. The guard also is fully galvanized to help resist corrosion.
