Great, but how does this certification benefit me?
Since 1995, all new semi-trailers and trucks over 3,500 kg must be fitted with side guards on both sides. The idea is to increase road safety. Cyclists and other vulnerable road users are easily swept under a large vehicle’s wheels and run over in accidents. Lateral protection devices can help reduce the likelihood of injury to cyclists when struck by a vehicle. There are various ways for fitting semi-trailers or trucks with this compulsory device, such as closed panels or horizontal rails or bars. An alternative is a toolbox, a real win-win!
Choose safety!
When you choose boxes with this quality mark, you can optimise the space under your chassis and use it safely. The boxes can serve as lateral protection instead of rails, bars or panels. Instead of fitting your vehicle with bars or panels, you use boxes, in which you can store your tools while prioritising road safety. The added storage creates space and avoids clutter in your cab. Moreover, with a toolbox, you have easy access to your tools and can keep an overview at all times. The boxes have been certified with and without mounting hardware.
