Utility Trailer Manufacturing has introduced the USS-120A, calling it a "next generation" aerodynamic side skirt. It's said to be even more durable and lighter than the company's previous designs.
It's EPA SmartWay-verified as an “advanced side skirt” providing a minimum of 5% fuel savings, and can be used with low-rolling-resistance tires on dry vans to achieve CARB (California Air Resources Board) compliance for California operations.
Similar to the previous two side skirt designs -- the USS-120 and 160 -- the new model is created with patent-pending, galvanized, high-tensile-steel braces that allow the skirt to flex both inward and outward. It includes an FRP cover over the unique 5-hole pattern design on the wingplate. The covered wingplate holes effectively increase the length of the side skirt by up to 2 ft, which increases aerodynamic efficiency. As well, the rear edge of the skirt at the support leg assembly is connected by a slip joint for reduced impact damage, Utility says.
