TrailerBlade: Built to Last

When you’re on the road, you’re looking for smooth sailing, with as few things slowing you down and giving you headaches as possible. And nothing can put the brakes on your long haul like when parts break, requiring you to drop everything and get repairs. Fortunately, TrailerBlade side skirts are the only products in their class made exclusively with proven materials. This gives them unparalleled durability, helping you keep on trucking and leave your repair problems in the dust. Here’s how the TrailerBlade’s durability nips your repair needs in the bud — and makes them quick and stress-free on the rare occasions when you do need repairs:


A skirt for all weather
Some side skirts on the market can suffer from heat expansion, causing them to swell in high temperatures. Others are susceptible to cold, causing them to become brittle and rigid in low temperatures — and more easily damaged. The TrailerBlade, on the other hand, maintains its flexibility in temperatures ranging from -40ºF to 300ºF, keeping it pliable in all kinds of weather. With this flexibility, your risk of damage has never been lower.

Leave the debris behind
Beyond its temperature resistance, the TrailerBlade resists damage from snow, ice and other kinds of debris. A strong anti-corrosion polyester coating applied to its upper panels causes debris to glide off, and a lower skirt made from a thermoplastic vulcanate compound maximizes ground clearance and provides the flexibility to pass over objects even in subzero temperatures. These, along with the mounting strut’s triple-coated galvanizing, keep your side skirts damage-free and contribute to their long life.

The TrailerBlade’s self-enclosed mounting pillar helps keep your debris worries at bay as well. Unlike competing designs featuring braces or L-springs, which can easily gather debris and lead to frequent cleanings or corrosion, the TrailerBlade’s design avoids snow, ice, mud and rocks to keep you free and clear. The mounting pillar also comes spring-loaded, eliminating vibration and avoiding damage in all conditions.

Replace only what you damage
On the rare occasion that a part of the TrailerBlade does become damaged, you can rest easy. That’s because the TrailerBlade has a component design, allowing you to simply remove the damaged part and replace only that part, saving you time, money, and hassle. With the TrailerBlade, gone are the days of whole skirt replacements.



With all of these design elements working together to minimize damage and wear, it’s no surprise that the TrailerBlade offers superior durability — with a massive 10-year lifespan. And with fewer repairs over its long lifetime, that translates to direct savings and faster trips. That’s why fleets across the country rely on TrailerBlade — and so can you.

TrailerBlade Flap: Highway to Savings and Sustainability A couple of weeks ago, we wrote about how TrailerBlade side skirts reduce fuel consumption, and about some of the science behind it. But, even with the 7.15% improvement in fuel economy afforded by the TrailerBlade family of side skirts, that isn’t the end of the road for reductions in fuel consumption — or for greater savings. That’s because, accompanying available side skirt options, TrailerBlade is also proud to offer the TrailerBlade Flap. Here’s how this unique product contributes to fuel savings and sustainability: A New Kind of Mudflap As you are likely aware, many states in the United States have laws mandating the use of mudflaps to protect vehicles, passengers and pedestrians from mud and other flying debris. While many will agree that these are sensible protections, for fleet managers, mudflap requirements have an undesirable side-effect. Because mudflaps block wind and thereby create aerodynamic dr...
