FAQs

What material are the mudguards made from?

The mudguards are made from high-impact, injection-molded black polyethylene, offering flexibility and crack resistance.

Are the mounting brackets included?

Yes, this listing includes four small heavy-duty steel brackets plated for corrosion protection.

How do I attach the mudguards to the brackets?

You will need to use appropriate hardware such as bolts, nuts, and washers (not included) to secure the mudguard's rear flange to the mounted brackets.

Can I use these mudguards on a tandem axle trailer?

Yes, the brackets are ideal for spacing and reinforcing mudguards on tandem axle setups. You may need to purchase additional mudguards and brackets depending on your trailer configuration.

What are the dimensions of the mudguards?

The mudguards are 62cm long, 18.5cm wide, and 23cm high.

What are the dimensions of the brackets?

The brackets are 16cm long, 6.5cm high, and 4cm wide, with pre-drilled 7mm elongated mounting holes.

Do I need to drill holes in my trailer?

Yes, you will need to drill holes in your trailer frame or body to mount the brackets, using the bracket's elongated holes as a guide for marking.

Troubleshooting

Mudguards do not fit flush

Adjust bracket placement and angle using the elongated mounting holes. Ensure the trailer surface is relatively flat where the mudguard will sit.

Brackets feel insecure

Verify that appropriate length and type of fasteners are used to secure brackets to the trailer. Ensure drilling and mounting are done into a solid part of the trailer frame.

Mudguard cracks after minor impact

Ensure the mudguard is correctly mounted and has slight flexibility to absorb impact. If the material itself is brittle, contact customer support as this may indicate a defect.

Corrosion on brackets

The plating provides corrosion resistance. For significant rust, clean the affected area and apply a protective coating. Ensure the brackets are not constantly submerged in corrosive liquids.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and crack-resistant material
  • Lighter and safer than metal alternatives
  • Flexible design absorbs minor impacts
  • Adjustable brackets for custom fit
  • Corrosion protection on steel components

Cons

  • Bracket placement requires user decision
  • Plastic may be susceptible to UV degradation over extended periods
  • Requires user to drill mounting holes if not already present
  • Not suitable for extremely heavy-duty applications where rigid metal is required

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Determine the optimal placement for the mudguards on the sides of your trailer. Consider wheel clearance and desired coverage.
  2. Position the steel brackets against the trailer frame or body where the mudguards will be mounted.
  3. Use the pre-drilled elongated holes on the brackets as a guide to mark your drilling points on the trailer.
  4. Drill appropriate holes in the trailer chassis or body.
  5. Secure the brackets to the trailer using suitable fasteners (not included).
  6. Align the mudguard's rear flange with the mounted brackets and attach using appropriate hardware (e.g., bolts, nuts, washers - not included).

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most standard trailer applications requiring 10" wide mudguards.
  • Brackets are versatile and can be adapted to various trailer frame types, but mounting surface preparation is the user's responsibility.
  • Ideal for use with tandem axle setups when using multiple sets or the provided brackets for spacing.

Care:

  • Clean the mudguards with mild soap and water using a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Periodically check the security of the brackets and mounting hardware. Tighten as necessary.
  • Inspect the mudguards for any significant damage after heavy use or impact.
