Product Information

Full details

This product guide is for trailer owners and operators, particularly those using 13-inch to 14-inch wheels, seeking durable and resilient mudguards. The key benefit is enhanced protection for your trailer and towed load with mudguards that absorb impacts and resist cracking, unlike traditional metal options. A potential caveat is ensuring correct wheel size compatibility. These Apollo Slab Tech mudguards are manufactured from high-impact, injection-molded black polyethylene, offering flexibility and crack resistance for commercial or occasional use.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of these mudguards over metal ones?

The primary advantage is their flexibility and impact absorption. They bend and flex to absorb minor knocks, preventing the damage, dents, or cracks that metal mudguards often sustain. They also won't rust.

What size wheels are these mudguards suitable for?

These mudguards are designed for trailer wheels with a diameter ranging from 13 inches to 14 inches.

What material are these mudguards made from?

They are manufactured from high-impact, injection-molded black polyethylene, which is a durable and flexible plastic similar to the material used for car bumpers.

Do these mudguards come with mounting hardware?

No, this listing is for the mudguards only. You will need to provide your own appropriate fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers) for mounting.

How do I clean and maintain the mudguards?

Clean periodically with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What are the dimensions of each mudguard?

The dimensions of each mudguard are approximately 790mm in Length, 220mm in Depth, and 370mm in Height.

Can these mudguards be painted?

While possible, painting polyethylene can be challenging due to its surface properties. Adhesion may be poor without proper surface preparation and specialized plastic primers. It's generally not recommended for optimal durability.

Troubleshooting

Mudguard cracks after minor impact

While designed to be crack-resistant, extreme force can still cause damage. Inspect the mounting points for stress. If the crack is minor, it may still offer protection. For significant cracks, replacement is recommended.

Mudguard does not fit wheel size

Confirm the wheel diameter is indeed between 13-14 inches. Ensure the mudguard is being aligned correctly with the tire's profile. If the size is correct and fit is poor, a different model may be required.

Difficulty in mounting

Ensure you have the correct fasteners for your trailer frame. The flat flange requires a stable surface for attachment. Pre-drilling mounting holes in the flange may be necessary for some trailer designs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible and crack-resistant material absorbs impacts.
  • Will not rust or corrode like metal mudguards.
  • Lighter weight for easier installation and handling.
  • Durable construction comparable to automotive parts.
  • Designed to fit 13-inch to 14-inch trailer wheels.

Cons

  • Requires proper mounting to a flat flange.
  • May not fit wheels outside the specified 13-14 inch range.
  • Plastic may be susceptible to UV degradation over extended periods if not maintained.
  • Requires separate mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, etc.).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These mudguards are designed specifically for trailer wheels measuring between 13 inches and 14 inches in diameter. Always verify your wheel size before purchasing. The dimensions are 790mm (Length) x 220mm (Depth) x 370mm (Height).

Setup: Installation involves securely attaching the mudguard to the trailer frame using its integrated flat flange. You will need appropriate fasteners (e.g., bolts, nuts, washers - not included) to affix the flange to a suitable mounting point on your trailer chassis. Ensure the mudguard is positioned correctly to provide adequate coverage for the tire.

Care: To maintain the mudguards, clean them periodically with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic surface. While durable, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays can degrade plastic over time; consider storage in a shaded area when not in use to maximize lifespan.
