According to Betts, the new mud flap hangers feature Smart A17 technology that offers Class 8 operators lighter weight, corrosion resistant spring loaded mud flap hangers with exceptional performance and extended life cycles.
Betts’ Smart hangers have been laboratory and field tested to meet equipment manufacturer and end user demands, the company says. The proprietary Smart design incorporates an open wound coil spring with high rate recovery and yield performance. Betts claims it has reduced the weight by 5 percent over current spring loaded mud flap hangers and at the same time, improved performance characteristics.
Betts’ full line of straight arm, tapered arm and angle down spring-loaded mud flap hangers are being replaced with Smart A17 Technology products that are currently being rolled out to Betts’ distributors.
