Automatic Mud Flap Lifters
 ✖  |
Owners of dump trucks know the problem: you back up to dump a load and the mud flaps get caught between the tires and the load, getting torn off or ripped up. Then you get a traffic citation or hit with insurance increases because the mud flaps don’t stop rocks from breaking the windshields of vehicles behind you.
The recently patented Mud Flap Lift System provides a simple solution. An electric motor control automatically raises the mud flaps whenever the truck is put in reverse. When finished dumping, the truck driver drives ahead and pushes an in-cab switch to let the flaps back down.
“I invented the first one about six years ago,” says inventor Jerry Proctor, who decided there was a great need for Flaps-Up based on his own tracking experience. After years of testing to perfect it, his Flaps-Up system went into production in 2016. It comes with a power unit with 35 ft. of electric cable, cab control switch, and mud flaps.
“We are now working with truck body manufacturers who will be installing the Flaps-Up unit on new truck bodies before they leave the factory,” Proctor says.
He notes he is still working with suppliers and manufacturers on pricing, but the Flaps-Up system with mud flaps will be less than $1,800.
“Flaps-Up will help you work in a safer environment, and save you money in mud flap and installation costs and DOT fines for improper mud flaps,” Proctor says. “It might even get you that ‘extra load’ at the end of the day because it saved you time during the day.”
Flaps-Up products are available direct from the company.
