TrailerBlade™ achieved 7.15% fuel savings in an EPA verified, SAE Type J1321 Fuel Economy Test.
A typical tractor in standard service can easily save 600 gallons of fuel per year.1
It will last for years. TrailerBlade™ is the only product in its class made exclusively with proven materials.
1Calculation is based on achieving 4% fuel savings in a tractor that runs 100,000 highway miles per year at an average of 6.5 MPG.
TrailerBlade™ HD is the only side skirt built entirely from materials that are already on the outside of your tractor-trailer. These industry standard materials are why our product has been so successful and outlasts all other side skirts.
The Upper Panels are polyester-coated steel with a polyethylene core that is similar to what clads the trailer. The high gloss finish is an identical match to your trailer’s panels and will look great for years. The panel’s composition is formulated to achieve the optimum balance of aerodynamic efficiency and flexibility. When combined with our articulating struts, the flexible composite panels allow TrailerBlade™ to absorb tremendous side impact.
The Lower Skirt is made from a thermoplastic vulcanizate compound, or TPV, the same material that tractor makers use on cab and side fairing extenders. Our patented design maintains aerodynamic integrity while maximizing ground clearance. TrailerBlade™ has successfully recovered from a 25-inch perpendicular impact. The compound is so strong that the skirt will maintain its aerodynamic profile in triple digit temperatures and yet be flexible enough to pass over objects in temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees.
Like the rest of most trailer undercarriages, our patented Mounting Strut is made of high-strength steel. This pre-loaded strut not only pivots, it articulates. This four-way adjustment not only prevents damage, it ensures a perfect installation on every trailer, every time, without vibration. The slim profile resists snow, ice, and mud buildup. And the triple-coated galvanizing protects from the effects of corrosion.
