PRODUCT 26 www.FlatbedTruckingJobs.com January 2016 S ince most of you are busy enough try- ing to manage your own business, it's likely you occasionally might have missed a few announcements for new products. This month we take a look back at some recently introduced aerodynamic, chrome and other related add-ons de- signed to help you keep your truck looking and working its best. Fleet Engineers' AF-19 AeroFlap mudfl ap for wide-base tires is designed for spray suppression and enhanced aerodynam- ics. The 19-inch-wide mudfl ap has a diamond- patterned design that allows air and water to fl ow through the fl ap, which helps reduce vehicle drag and rain spray while increasing fuel mileage and airfl ow to vent heat away from tires and brakes. Minimizer's Smoky Black Mirror fender has a dark-tinted smooth fi nish designed to refl ect like metal but is made from the same polyethylene material as the company's Tested and Tortured fenders. A Silver Mirror fender with a metal-like appearance also is available. Fleetline's half-tandem poly fender, part number 5325-66-1, has been redesigned for enhanced performance and longevity. A reinforced edge helps improve stability, while a reduced rib length eliminates the need for spacers on the rear mounting bracket to help simplify installation. EkoStinger's two-part active aerody- namic mileage enhancement system consists of an undercarriage arrow unit, which moves in conjunction with the rear wheel tandem, and an undercarriage crossmember cover designed to enhance airfl ow while adding to the trailer's pro- tection and increased life expectancy.
