HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) protection and mounting bars are essential components designed to improve the safety, durability, and performance of large commercial vehicles. They serve several purposes, ranging from protecting the vehicle's bodywork to enhancing visibility and providing mounting points for other accessories. Below are some common types of protection and mounting bars used in HGVs:

1. Front Bumper Bars / Bull Bars

• Purpose: These bars are typically installed at the front of the vehicle to protect the front bumper, radiator, and engine components from damage during collisions. They also help to absorb some of the impact in the event of an accident.
• Materials: Usually made from high-strength steel, stainless steel, or aluminum for durability and corrosion resistance.
• Features: Can include integrated lighting mounts, brush guards, or additional reinforcement to prevent damage to the vehicle in rough conditions.

2. Side Bars (Side Steps or Protection Bars)

• Purpose: These bars are mounted along the sides of the HGV to protect the vehicle from side collisions and to prevent damage from scraping against other objects.
