BettsHD reveals new Trailer Mud Flap Retention System

by Truck News

FRESNO, Calif. – BettsHD has unveiled a new Trailer Mud Flap Retention System that it claims virtually eliminates the age old problem of mud flap loss on trailers with sliders.

The BettsHD system is specifically designed for the retrofit or “as needed” repair of trailer mud flap mounting on 48” wide slider boxes and a wide variety of frames where there are 2” or 2 7/8” mounting hole centers available. The BettsHD Trailer Mud Flap Retention System is an engineered mud flap mounting system utilizing a proprietary spring steel mounting bracket. The bracket is capable of being installed using common hand tools, thus eliminating the need for welding during new mud flap installation or replacement. The resulting possibility of roadside and driver repair is designed to increase vehicle uptime and keep trailers operating within legal requirements. 

“Our system has been designed so all the components work together to achieve the desired result of keeping the mud flaps on and the trailer operating legally on the road,” said Ed Powderly, vice-president sales for BettsHD. “The secret to our innovative system is the spring steel mounting bracket. It is heat treated and reinforced to remain flexible in combination with our hangers, but yield when the force becomes great enough to do damage to the slider box or any of its structural components.”

 The Trailer Mud Flap Retention System is available with either a left hand or right hand replacement/installation or as a complete system retrofit.
