Hendrickson is the undisputed market leader in the production of metal bumpers for Class 8 trucks in North America. In fact, Hendrickson supplies more than two-thirds of all metal bumpers on new Class 8 North American trucks, and every year the demand for bright metal bumpers grows. Our leadership in this market stems from our ability to produce aerodynamically contoured bumper designs, formed from lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant metals.
AERO GUARD™ Bumper Technology
The culmination of an intensive four-year development program, Hendrickson AERO GUARD bumper technology combines state-of-the-art resin technology, proprietary injection molding processes and patented design to create the industry’s first heavy-duty, aerodynamic and lightweight non-metal bumpers.
AERO CLAD® Stainless Steel Clad Aluminum Bumpers
Formed from a technologically advanced composite material of stainless steel bonded to an aluminum substrate, AERO CLAD bumpers are 40 to 60 percent lighter than chromed steel bumpers. With a stainless steel finish 10 times thicker than chrome plating, the clad material provides a mirror bright surface that resists corrosion—even after damage from impact. New compression forming manufacturing technology makes unique aerodynamic designs possible.
AERO BRIGHT® Bumpers
Hendrickson combined the industry’s leading weatherable film technology and advanced
lightweight engineered thermoplastics with a unique manufacturing process to create
HENDRICKSON AERO BRIGHT®. This technology enables Hendrickson to provide the best of
both worlds — the styling features, durability and lightweight characteristics of traditional
plastic coupled with the luster of chrome.
Steel Chromed Bumpers
Hendrickson is the leading supplier of production and aftermarket steel chromed bumpers to North American heavy-duty truck manufacturers.
