FAQs
What size wheels are these mudguards suitable for?
These mudguards are designed for trailers with 13-inch and 14-inch wheels.
Are these mudguards sold individually or as a set?
This listing is for a pack of 4 trailer mudguards.
What material are the mudguards made from?
They are manufactured from high-impact injection-molded black polyethylene, a durable and flexible plastic.
How do these compare to metal mudguards?
These plastic mudguards are designed to bend and flex, absorbing impacts instead of smashing off like metal ones. They are also lighter and crack-resistant.
Can these mudguards be painted?
While they are made of black polyethylene, painting may affect the flexibility and durability of the material. It is generally not recommended unless using a paint specifically formulated for plastics of this type.
What are the dimensions of each mudguard?
The dimensions of each mudguard are approximately 790mm (Length) x 220mm (Depth) x 370mm (Height).
Do these mudguards come with mounting hardware?
Mounting hardware such as bolts, nuts, and washers are typically not included and will need to be sourced separately based on your trailer's frame.
Troubleshooting
Mudguard does not fit correctly
Verify that your trailer wheels are indeed 13 or 14 inches in diameter. Ensure the mudguard is oriented correctly and not being obstructed by other trailer components.
Mounting holes do not align
The flat flange allows for some adjustment. You may need to drill new mounting holes in the flange to match your specific trailer frame. Use appropriate tools for drilling plastic.
Mudguard seems too flexible
This is an intended feature to prevent breakage. The flexibility allows it to absorb impacts. Ensure it is securely bolted to the trailer frame to maintain its position.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Absorbs impacts and bends instead of breaking
- Resistant to cracking and damage from road debris
- Lighter weight compared to metal mudguards
- Easy to install with a pre-formed mounting flange
- Suitable for both commercial and occasional use
- Cost-effective replacement for damaged mudguards
Cons
- May not provide the same rigidity as metal for very heavy-duty applications
- Plastic construction could be susceptible to UV degradation over very long periods if not maintained
- Requires appropriate mounting hardware (not always included)
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These mudguards are designed for trailers equipped with 13-inch and 14-inch wheels. Ensure your trailer's wheel size matches these specifications before installation.
Setup: Installation involves securing the mudguard to the trailer chassis using the integrated flat flange. You will typically need bolts, nuts, and washers suitable for your trailer's frame material. Position the mudguard to provide adequate clearance around the tire and suspension components. Ensure it is securely fastened to prevent movement during transit.
Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of the mudguards, periodic cleaning is recommended. Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or sponge to remove dirt, mud, and road grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the plastic surface. Inspect regularly for any signs of wear or damage, although their design makes them highly resistant to common issues.
