Moose impact at 50mph

I am an owner-operator in Canada. I run 2x a week to Pickle Lake in northern Ontario. In years past I have hit two moose resulting in total damages of $45,000.00. I purchased a HERD Defender 4-post for my 2007 Freightliner Columbia last fall. I recently hit a young bull moose near Savant Lake, Ontario. It was a 50 mph impact hitting the moose with the left corner of the HERD bumper. The truck sustained NO DAMAGE and the HERD bumper did not bend or crack - NO DAMAGE! I will never own another truck without a HERD bumper on its nose!! Thank you more than I can say!

Towing accident front end impact

I have another one for you. One of our customers was getting drug through the mud with his W900L to get into a job-site to get wood out. They were using a large grapple skidder, and towing with the front tow pin on the HERD. Going up an incline, the skidder operator stalled the engine, and rolled backwards into the helpless W900. The grapple hit the top tube of the HERD and only made a small dent. The owner of the truck figured without the HERD, the impact would have taken out the hood, ac condensor, radiator, charge air cooler, and grill. Not to mention having to get the stranded truck out of the woods and towed in for repairs. He was another Ali-Arc customer converted to herd. I will get a picture of this truck next time it comes in.

HERD Upgrade pays-off

Kevin Schmidt installed a HERD on his new W900 tractor he took delivery of in August 2005. He ran Ali-Arc before, and after seeing the build and finish of the HERD, decided to upgrade. He has hit 3 white-tailed deer, a stump, and a rock. The most recent impact was a mid-sized Nissan SUV losing control on slippery roads in Northern Wisconsin, crossing the center line, and impacting the HERD on the driver side front.The driver side frame horn on the W900 was broken. Not a scratch on the truck. The HERD bumper and center section bent, but the truck finished out the day of hauling logs, and was driven to the dealership. The Nissan didn't fare so well. All occupants did walk away. The customer is happy to have minimal down-time, as the wood market is at it's busiest right before spring break-up. He stated this morning without his HERD, he knows the damage would have been much worse on the W900, and would have been down for weeks.

Collision with an elk from shoulder to hip

Not even two weeks on my truck and over 1.5 million miles prior I took an ELK from shoulder to hip. Not a scrach on my truck but sorry to say the elk didn't make it.
