Give the AdBlue tank beneath your Crafter or TGE a substantial duralumin barrier. This Almont 6 mm guard is for the specified MK1 arrangement on vehicles built before June 2021, covering the stated 4x4 and 2WD applications.
SKU: PDWCD26
Choose the earlier AdBlue arrangement
The 10 kg guard is the MK1 plate, rather than the later MK2 version. Use the build date and tank arrangement when matching it to your van; a registration year alone may not identify the changeover.
Why we recommend Almont
The material is a large part of what makes Almont protection worth considering. Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin combines high strength with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, helping it stay a worthwhile long-term addition to your vehicle. Mud and road salt should still be washed off, including from the separate steel brackets and fixings.
Almont has specialised in vehicle protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Its protection is designed and manufactured in Spain. You are choosing specialist underbody protection for the parts of your vehicle that have to face the rough ground first.

Matching protection
The separate Crafter/TGE fuel tank guard protects the original fuel tank on its stated application. The original-bumper front guard is the 6 mm PDWCA6 plate for the listed Crafter 2017-onwards and TGE 2019-onwards 4x4 and 2WD applications with the original bumper.
Looking after your protection
Pressure wash the protection at least once a year, or two or three times a year if you regularly drive in mud or road salt. Check bolt tightness annually and follow the fitting instructions when refitting a plate after maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Does it fit 2WD as well as 4x4?
Yes, within the stated Crafter/TGE and pre-June-2021 MK1 application.
Is MK1 the earlier or later plate?
The earlier one, for vehicles built before June 2021. The later MK2 application is a separate product.
What is included?
The protection plate, matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, certificate and instruction manual, and Almont sticker. Other guards linked on this page are separate purchases.
Will the plate rust if I scrape it?
The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.
What does the warranty cover?
