Economy trailer fairing
Laydon Composites has introduced Hybrid TrailerSkirt - a low-cost trailer fairing that can be fitted to a trailer in an hour, “minimizing downtime and providing fleets with a truly economical way to comply with trailer fuel saving regulations,” said the company.
Laydon, formerly Airshield/Rudkin-Wiley, has partnered with Crane Composites to re-design its EPA SmartWay-certified, advanced aerodynamic Hybrid TrailerSkirt.
Crane Composites designed a purpose-built panel specific for trailer aerodynamics.
Complementing the panels, Laydon has designed an injection molded and patent-pending “mono clamp” one-bolt flexible mounting strut that can handle temperature and weather extremes.
The unique design allows a two-man team to install a complete set of skirts for a 53-foot trailer in around one hour.
