Diamond plate corner guard for dry van trailers

I would buy diamond plate from a metal supply house and use a deadblow hammer to finesse the shape over something of a similar radius. I can’t imagine those will be cheap through OEM channels.

Hyundai have the best system on the market. It’s too bad no one offer these in the aftermarket.

it’s vinyl but serves the same purpose.

 

A custom truck chrome shop like 4 States Truck in Joplin Mo could make them I bet. Might not charge to much since it looks like simple bend if they got the machine to do it.

 

What’s the purpose of these? Structural strength or something?

 

It's like a bumper - when it gets banged into the trailer doesn't get damaged. Door hinges will put pin holes into the corner panel.

 

This triangle is like a can opener.



This trailer was backed into, further in, so it just pushed the wall in. Further out onto the corner and it’ll cut a vertical slice through that junction, slicing open the roof, upper rail, and corner cap.

 

Saw a good one, today.
