Walker Blocker Truck Side Guards

Walker Blocker has created side guards to prevent bicycles, pedestrians, and motorcyclists from moving transversely under the truck bed or trailer contacting the area under the body, and in front of the rear tires.

We kept our product as simple and effective as possible making it easy to install with no special tools and a universal mounting system. Walker Blocker is retrofittable and customizable making it the perfect safety solution.
