Oct 25, 2016

Updated Feb 1, 2017

stemco-trailertail-covered Stemco’s TrailerTail Covered is a rear trailer fairing designed to increase driver usage and fuel efficiency. The fairing features side panels that cover the lockrod handles on most trailer styles, requiring operators to deploy the fairing before opening or closing the trailer’s rear doors and expediting the learning curve for inexperienced drivers. The fairing is available for the TrailerTail Trident and TrailerTail 4×4 manual deployment systems.
