Stoughton Trailers workers at our manufacturing facilities are busy installing the company's newly designed rear underride guard on on all dry van trailers moving forward. Also referred to in the transportation industry as a rear impact guard, the guard will come standard on all dry van trailer orders, and company leaders expect it to become the new benchmark for safety in the trailer industry.

The rear underride guard protects against impact at the back of the trailer in the event of an accident. It was engineered and manufactured by Stoughton Trailers staff, and went through extensive internal and third-party testing to ensure its safety. The guard is approved by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and it doesn't add weight to the trailer or negatively affect aerodynamics.
