Side skirts

Feb 18, 2010

The Utility Side Skirt 120 and 160 are created with galvanized, high-tensile steel braces that can be bent back to their original shape if damaged. Both models are made with UV-protected fiberglass reinforced plastic. The EPA SmartWay verified models can save fuel more than 4 percent, the company says. Both side skirt designs are now available as factory installed options for new Utility trailers. Retrofitting for existing trailers is available through Utility’s aftermarket department.
