Protecting Fleet Vehicles

At ValuGard we know that fleets all over the country are encountering more corrosion issues than they were just 15 years ago. Corrosion is an ongoing issue, not just with salt trucks but with buses, rescue equipment and utility service vehicles. Do you know what is causing this to occur? Magnesium and Calcium de-icing brines, read more about why they are different than rock salt

Our on-site technical consultation to solve paint and corrosion issues you are encountering!

ValuGard products are chosen by commercial fleets and highway departments around the country because they are designed and PROVEN to meet or exceed the most stringent test standards for corrosion.

Factors to consider when selecting anti-corrosion products:

  • Vehicle manufacturer approval - demonstrates that the products are safe for your workers to apply, and they meet rigorous tests to demonstrate they work well to fight corrosion on vehicles
  • Dual level protection, not just exposed underbody panel and frame areas, but specific protection for cab sub-frame cavities and interior channels / crevices not easily coated (also on this page we should have a link to video showing industrial application of our rust inhibitor and undercoating)
  • Product testing specific to Magnesium and Calcium Chloride  
  • ISO 9001:2015 certified supplier - ensures that there is a consistency in the quality of the products supplied to your fleet operations 
  • Products have achieved MVP status with the National Truck Equipment Association
  • Products with a one-time application, instead of a required annual application, means fewer hours of labor spent on anti-corrosion protection

No matter your fleet size, we have the equipment and product packaging flexibility to provide you with the optimum amount of product needed to protect your fleet. You can also use our extensive authorized installer network to fulfill your anti-corrosion coatings needs!

Case Study

A large regional commercial fleet was encountering corrosion issues with their vehicles. Corrosion was causing vehicles to be unserviceable after only 5 years, when they needed them to last 7 or 8. The fleet was having  issues not only with the frames and bodies but sub-frame corrosion occurring from underneath their cab seats! We conducted an analysis and recommended the products that would solve their problems. The next concern was that their fleet was scattered across several states with no appropriate on-site facilities to install VG product lines themselves. We utilized our extensive certified network to recommend installers that would not only apply the designated products; but also use the same process and protect the same areas. Now the fleet assigns new vehicles to be treated as they bring them on-line, specifying the VG product lines.
