THE BENEFITS OF MINIMIZER FAST FLAPS “We have already had a few instances where the mud flap has been pulled off. It makes it very convenient for us to have the driver stop and insert the flap back into the bracket. It really limits downtime and saves us money!” - Justin Griffith, operations manager, Conrad Transportation The Problem: Torn Mud Flaps and Damaged Equipment Mud flaps may seem like a minor truck component, but nearly 75% of fleet managers report ongoing issues with torn mud flaps and damaged flap equipment, including hanger bars and related equipment. These problems often arise when drivers accidentally back over obstructions such as curbs, dirt piles or snow. This unintended damage can sometimes result in compromised galvanization, leading to corrosion on trucks and/or trailers, further exacerbating maintenance costs and downtime. “We deal heavily in the automotive industry. We would find often times that when switchers would move our trailers, they would tear off our mud flaps as well as bend the brackets.” - Justin Griffith, operations manager, Conrad Transportation The Financial Impact of Mud Flap Hanger Damage For large trucking operations, repairing or replacing damaged mud flaps and hangers adds up to become a significant expense in labor and materials. The cost of parts and labor can quickly compound, especially when multiplied across an entire fleet. Furthermore, damaged mud flaps can lead to fines from the Department of Transportation (DOT), adding yet another layer of financial risk to an already costly problem. Safety Considerations Damaged mud flaps and mud flap hangers don’t just pose a financial burden on fleet operations; they can also have a negative impact on safety. Mud flaps are designed to prevent debris from being thrown up by the tires, protecting other vehicles on the road. When mud flaps are damaged, missing or torn, they lose their effectiveness, putting the safety of other motorists at risk. The Solution: Minimizer Fast Flaps How Minimizer Fast Flaps Work Minimizer Fast Flaps offer a game-changing solution to the problem of damaged mud flaps. By using a unique design that allows the mud flap to release from the bracket without causing damage, Minimizer Fast Flaps prevent costly equipment repairs and DOT fines.

Fast Flaps secure mud flaps with significant spring steel clamping force, offering a reliable, low-maintenance solution to the common damage seen when using standard mud flap hanger equipment. Designed to fit a standard 7” on-center bolt pattern, Fast Flaps integrate easily into any fleet’s existing equipment. Installation and Maintenance One of the key benefits of Minimizer Fast Flaps is their ease of installation and low maintenance requirements. Installation is quick and easy, minimizing downtime and labor costs. Additionally, the unique design and durable construction reduces the need for ongoing maintenance, further streamlining fleet operations. If the mud flap breaks free, the driver can quickly reinstall it in the Fast Flaps hanger with a screwdriver or small pry bar: no maintenance crew or lost downtime.
