Plastic Chrome Panels (Our Base) | Budget trucks, light-duty vehicles | Material: Plastic (2.5 kg/m², ISO 13374) Chrome finish (ASTM B201) | Cost-effective, lightweight, customizable paint/chrome finish | Lower durability (ASTM D543: 20 chemical exposures) Less corrosion resistance (ASTM B117: 200h salt spray) |
Stainless Steel Panels (Our Advanced) | High-performance trucks, harsh environments | Material: 304 Stainless Steel (3.8 kg/m², ASTM A240) Corrosion resistance: ▲▲▲ ASTM G85 (1000h salt spray) | Extreme durability, corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant (ASTM E1461) | Higher cost, heavier than plastic/aluminum |
Aluminum Panels (Industry Standard) | Mid-range trucks, moderate environments | Material: 6061 Aluminum (2.9 kg/m², ASTM B221) Corrosion resistance: ▲▲ (ASTM B117: 500h salt spray) | Moderate cost, good strength-to-weight ratio, recyclable | Moderate corrosion resistance, less customizable finish |
Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel (Advanced Tier) | Mining/Construction Vehicles | Material: 316 Stainless Steel (4.1 kg/m², ASTM A240) ASTM E1461 (withstands 800°C exhaust) | Unmatched durability, extreme corrosion/heat resistance (ASTM G85: 2000h) | Highest cost, heavy, requires professional installation |
Corrosion-Resistant Plastic (Mid-Tier) | Coastal/Chemical Exposure Areas | Enhanced Plastic (ASTM D543: 50+ chemical exposures) Weight: 2.7 kg/m² (ISO 13374) | Improved durability vs standard plastic, cost-effective compared to metal | Still less durable than metal, limited aesthetic options |
Custom Chrome Aluminum (Specialty) | Luxury/Customized Trucks | Aluminum base with chrome plating (ASTM B201) ASTM B568 (thickness: 2mm) | Aesthetic appeal, lightweight, customizable design | Higher cost than standard aluminum, requires maintenance to prevent corrosion |
