AeroFlex
Provide fast return on investment with 7.45% fuel savings. The flexible design mounts low to the ground to maximize the aerodynamic benefit and withstand both side and bottom impacts.
The AeroFlex is offered in the traditional DMP plastic panels or the new glass reinforced composite material. Both materials are an excellent value using the same proven flexible design concept incorporating a pressure responsive bracing system and supporting aluminum components.

The AeroFlex Fairing- Innovative, Flexible Design
-
Revolutionary fiberglass rod and hinge system provides optimal flexing ability
- During impact, the rods permit the fairing to freely rotate and bend, then return back to the original position
- Provides the necessary stiffness to maintain the fairing's profile under high wind conditions
- Up to 24 inches of clearance
-
Durable TPO polymer plastic will not crack or delaminate
- Flat panels are resistant to snow and ice buildup in winter conditions
- UV stabilized, automotive grade plastic
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion, ideal for use in all climates
AeroFlex DMP Plastic Construction:
The AeroFlex Plastic is the original flexible skirt. For those looking for maximum impact protection, lightest weight and lowest cost, this is your choice.
- Dense Matrix Polyethylene (DMP) material is an engineered plastic developed specifically for trailer skirting
- UV protected, easy to clean smooth surface, and works in all temperature extremes
- Virtually indestructible panels do not break and are unrivaled in terms of durability
- Proven with millions of miles of reliable fleet service
- Weighs only 150 lbs. - the lightest skirting option available
AeroFlex Composite Construction:
The AeroFlex Composite is the new standard in glass fiber reinforced type skirting. For those that prefer the great looks of a composite panel skirt, this is your choice.
- Polypropylene thermoplastic reinforced with continuous bidirectional glass fiber provides new capabilities not possible with traditional thermoset FRP panels
- UV protected, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and excellent ability to hold a flat panel shape
- 3 piece panel system is superior to other composite skirt single panel designs
- All holes come predrilled with panels cut to size, no extra work required as with competing fiberglass skirts
- Weighs 170 lbs.
Fuel Savings:
- 7.45% Independently verified via SAE/TMC J1321 Type II testing
- 5-7% Savings measured in fleet operations
Operations:
- No special driver requirements
- Clearance up to 26″
- Will not collect snow or ice
- Maintains access point for easy under trailer inspections
- Can be configured to accommodate tire carrier or other accessories
- Compatible for intermodal operations
DMP Plastic Material:
