Trailer Mudguard

A trailer mudguard—or fender—is an essential protective cover mounted above the wheels to shield the trailer chassis, cargo, other vehicles, and pedestrians from debris, water, and stones expelled by rotating tires. Often made from durable galvanized steel or aluminum materials, mudguards need to resist impacts, corrosion, and ultraviolet decay. Metal versions offer robust protection and can be shaped to specific designs—single‑wheel or tandem configurations. Mudguards are engineered to comply with legal standards that dictate coverage depth and proximity to the tire to minimize spray and projection of road particles. Beyond legal compliance, they help preserve under‑carriage components by diverting salty water and gravel away from suspension parts and braking surfaces.
