Disclosed herein is a brush guard system for mounting on the front of a vehicle. The brush guard system includes a removable brush guard construct having a brush guard shield roughly the size of the front of a vehicle. The brush guard shield is mounted to a floor assembly. The floor assembly comprises a left pivot assembly spaced from a right pivot assembly that releasably engages a hooking bar that is secured to the frame of the vehicle. The hooking bar utilizes a pair of spaced hook plates to receive and support the brush guard construct. Pivot pins are utilized to pivotably mount the brush guard construct to the hooking bar and retractable locking pins are utilized to lock the brush guard construct to the hooking bar. A deployable pivot wheel transport assembly provides a convenient method for easy donning and doffing the brush guard from the vehicle.

A device for protecting the bumper of a vehicle having an undercarriage includes a bumper protector which is connectable to the undercarriage of the vehicle. The bumper protector includes a cushion which is positionable to (1) a retracted position beneath the undercarriage of the vehicle, and (2) an extended position outwardly projecting from the vehicle. In the extended position the cushion is rotatable to an upright position adjacent to the bumper of the vehicle. The cushion protects the bumper during a collision with another vehicle or object.

A payload perimeter protecting bumper and method of stopping an approaching vehicle from coming too close to a parked vehicle which includes a male receiver insert structure, which is configured to be inserted into and coupled to a hitch receiver on a truck, an intermediate portion disposed between male receiver insert structure and bumper member, which provides for the pivoting ability. The bumper member has an elongated pivotable structural member. The system is configured so that if you were to be trapped, you could unlock the pivot limiting pin and pivot upward the elongated pivotable structural member, thereby creating more space to move to exit the parking spot. In some embodiments, the elongated pivotable structural member could have a remote controlled linear actuator, with a length that could be automated.

A safety guard for a vehicle, such as a school or transit bus, includes a skirt extending below a side body portion of the vehicle and between front and rear wheels along a side of the vehicle. The skirt functions to push individuals and other animate objects out of the path of the wheels for safety purposes, while being mounted for separate linear and arcuate movements relative to the body of the vehicle to protect the guard from damage upon abutting an inanimate object during operation of the vehicle.

A bumper assembly having a transverse bumper body and at least one wing extension that is configured for pivotal movement relative to a side end of the transverse bumper body. Each wing extension has inner and outer surfaces and is moveable from a rest position to an impact position in response to an impact force acting within a horizontal plane. In the rest position, the outer surface of each wing extension is parallel or substantially parallel to the transverse axis, and in the impact position, the outer surface of the wing extension is positioned at an acute angle relative to the transverse axis. Each wing extension is configured to return to its rest position in response to removal of the impact force.
