Why Buy Moose Bumpers?

Whether you’re a private contractor or you own a fleet, trucking is an essential part of our modern economy and you don’t want anything to slow you down or put you behind the competition, especially not your trucks. Every repair you have to make costs you time and money, which is why many truck owners shell out a little more money for an aftermarket moose bumper. Sound like something you’re interested in? Then contact Truck Defender Bumpers to talk to one of our experienced professionals about how you can get your aluminum moose bumper delivered right to your door, no matter where in North America you are.

What Is a Moose Bumper?

When you buy your heavy-duty truck, it already comes with its own bumper, a stock bumper that’s designed to keep you safe. In the event of a head-on collision, they’re designed to crumple and fold and take as much of the impact as possible in order to reduce the damage to your body. Obviously, this is important, but for some of our drivers, it’s not practical. 

If you spend much of your time traveling in areas with lots of wildlife, then you’re probably no stranger to a head-on collision with a deer, cow, or maybe even moose (see where we’re going with this?). Semis and other heavy-duty trucks can’t dodge or slow down in time to avoid hitting the animals, as much as you may want to avoid it, and it can often be safer for you and other commuters to not swerve or slam on the brakes. Now, that safety feature has become an expensive repair bill. If you run into this situation fairly often, then you’ll find yourself constantly throwing money at bumpers that need to be replaced time and time again. 

That’s where a moose bumper comes in. These bumpers are reinforced to let you drive without worrying about how much it’s going to cost you. No matter how high animal traffic is, a moose bumper will give you the added protection you need to keep your business and your truck running smoothly. 

It’s Not Just the Bumper

Unlike stock bumpers, moose bumpers are about protecting more than just the front edge of your vehicle. They’re also designed to protect the engine, fog lights, and headlights. All of these things can be incredibly expensive to replace and keeping them guarded can save you money and keep you safe on the road. 

Reinforcement For Towing

Whether it’s part of your job or you happen upon someone in need of help, heavy-duty trucks can be a great help in pulling other vehicles out of ditches. However, the stock bumper can’t necessarily handle the pressure. If you try to hook up a winch or other towing device, you risk excessive, dangerous damage. An aluminum moose bumper won’t have the same problem. They’re strong enough that they’ll be able to give you the hauling power you need without ripping or folding under the weight. 

The Extra Edge

Maybe we’re a little biased, but you can’t deny that a moose bumper looks a lot cooler than your average stock bumper. They add extra muscle and definition to the aesthetic of the truck. If you get yours from Truck Defender, you can even add some extra designs to your model. Often, the trucking industry puts too much emphasis on function over looks, but if your driver likes the look of their truck, they’ll be more enthusiastic about getting in the driver’s seat every morning. 

Getting a moose bumper can not only make you safer on the road, it can also help you save in the long run on big repair bills. That’s why you’ll want to contact Truck Defender Bumpers in Vale, South Dakota, to see what we can do to improve your truck. We serve all of North America, so call us today!
