Herd’s high quality, steel drop forged eyebolts with 7/8” threads are a proven method for fastening the bumper guard in the upright position.
Also known as I-beam uprights, profile uprights are the industry standard for cost-effective animal protection. The profile uprights and tubes, welded together with our extruded bumper section, form a rigid structure effective against most types of wildlife or obstacles.
All of Herd's tubing is made from high-quality, high strength 6061 aluminum. 2-1/2" is the industry standard size for bullbar tubing.
The strength and durability of a HERD comes from the interaction of the steel mounting bracket and the aluminum bumper. The design places zero weight on the hinges, so you don’t have to worry about things getting loose or rattling over time.
Impact plates are steel plates integrated with the mounting bracket that provide additional impact support towards the outsides of the bumper guard. Without impact plates any bumper guard is susceptible to folding in on the outside in the event of an off-center impact. This feature is exclusive to HERD products.
HERD is committed to ensuring that each and every bumper arrives at its final destination in flawless factory condition. Our semi-truck bullbars are shipped standing upright, bolted to a pallet and covered with 3 layers of different protective materials. When your shipment arrives, simply pull open the tarp-like cover using the convenient draw-string on the bottom to inspect your bumper.
HERD’s AERO bumper channel features an 18” swept back profile, providing better airflow and aerodynamics for today's highway trucks.
Why extruded?
HERD's proprietary 9-step polish process is without a doubt the shining star in the industry. The end result is a mirror-like finish you can be proud to put in front of your truck.
