Narrative:

Collision with ground equipment during parking maneuver. During approach to stop line at gate, we received sudden stop signal by guideman about 5 ft short of stop line. Captain responded with immediate hard braking. Ground crew reported possible collision with deice truck. We called maintenance for inspection. They confirmed navigation light lens was broken with no airframe damage. We had briefed ramp conditions approaching lead-in line and observed 2 wingwalkers and guideman in position. Captain was taxiing very slowly -- perhaps 2 mph. I estimate aircraft traveled no more than 1 ft after stop signal.
