Spray Guard® Rain Flaps

Spray Guard® Rain Flaps were first developed in 1980 by the Monsanto Company and Mr. Walter Reddaway, a trucker from Oregon.

Today, Spray Guard® is still considered the best constructed and most cost effective anti-spray flap in the transportation industry.

Spray Guard® is constructed using an artificial grass surface laminated to a high density polyethylene backing.

Spray Guard® dramatically channels dangerous road water spray downward. The result is better visibility for the truck driver and other motorists on the road. Reduced spray means there will be much less build up on mirrors, which greatly increases truck driver visibility. Better visibility means potentially fewer accidents. The efficient channeling of water and road debris keeps trucks much cleaner, so fewer washes are needed. This combined with an extremely long life expectancy during normal road service means that Spray Guard® will actually save you money in the long haul.

Independent tests rate Spray Guard® as the most effective spray suppression rain flap. Test results show that Spray Guard® reduces spray by 83% compared to a smooth surface flap which has a rating of 10%.

Spray Guard® is available in all standard and custom size flaps. Spray Guard® comes in either White or Black and is available in different colors with a minimum purchase of 500 flaps. All Symplastics flaps have a standard 7" center bolt hole location, utilizing oval holes and the bottom corners are rounded.

Spray Guard® can be easily decorated with custom logos using a silk screen printing technique with special epoxy inks.

Spray Guard® is the standard OEM flap installed on the steering wheels of Freightliner, Kenworth and Mack Trucks.

Major fleets using Spray Guard® include: UPS, Overnite Transportation, Watkins Motor Lines, Betz-Dearborne, Whirlpool, Mobil, Amoco, U.S. Postal Service, U.S. Army, Florida DOT, Edgecomb Metals and Monsanto AG Products Co.

Spray Guard® is guaranteed not to break or crack within the first year of installation.


Safe Pass® 375 grooved Anti Spray Flaps

Safe Pass® 375 grooved Anti-Spray flaps are made of UV stabilized copolymer resins creating a high impact strength and shatter resistant flap. They are extruded with a ribbed backing whereby water is channeled down the flap to the road surface reducing the hazards of splash and spray.

Safe Pass® 375 grooved are ANTI-SAIL and ANTI-SPRAY.

Safe Pass® 375 grooved are guaranteed not to break or crack in temperatures from -20ºF to 170ºF in the first year of installation.

Independent tests give Safe Pass® 375 grooved a spray reduction value of 22.5% on a scale of 0-100%, where 100% is complete spray reduction. Safe Pass® 375 grooved are rated at 83%.

Safe Pass® 375 grooved are available in all standard and custom size flaps. Safe Pass® 375 grooved comes in either White or Black and is available in different colors with a minimum purchase of 500 flaps. All Symplastics flaps have a standard 7" center bolt hole location, utilizing oval holes and the bottom corners are rounded.

Safe Pass® 375 grooved can be easily decorated with custom logos using silk screen printing technique with special epoxy inks.


Safe Pass® 175 smooth Flaps

Safe Pass® 175 smooth Flaps flaps are made from durable High Density Polyethylene with a UV stabilizer.
Safe Pass® 175 smooth Flaps are designed to prevent curling. Manufacturers of cheaper plastic flaps give polyethylene flaps a bad name because their plastic flaps curl, sail and crack. Safe Pass® 175 smooth Flaps do not. They are even guaranteed not to curl or break within one year of installation at temperatures of -20ºF to 170ºF. Safe Pass® 175 smooth Flaps are stress relieved after extruding to ensure flatness. This provides the anti-curl, anti-sail characteristic.

Safe Pass® 175 smooth Flaps are 0.175" thick and are available in all standard and custom size flaps. Safe Pass® 175 smooth Flaps come standard in either White or Black and the 24" x 30" flaps are also available in Purple, Dark Blue, Orange, Red, Medium Blue, Gray, Green, Yellow and Burgundy. All Symplastics flaps have a standard 7" center bolt hole location, utilizing oval holes and the bottom corners are rounded for appearance.

Safe Pass® 175 smooth Flaps can be easily decorated with custom logos using a silk screen printing technique with special epoxy inks.


Symplate Trailer Liner

Symplate Trailer Liner protects trailer walls from damage caused by forklift trucks and hard cargo.

Symplate is made of a special copolymer high density polyethylene (HDPE), rather than fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). Symplate weighs 30% less than FRP, is twice as strong as FRP and costs 20% less than FRP. Impact tests show that where FRP is splintered by hard cargo, HDPE may have a slight dent. Symplate trailer liner simply won’t break…even at sub zero temperatures.

The copolymer plastic resin used to make Symplate actually increases its impact strength as the temperature goes down.
 

Symplate is available in 0.125", 0.175" and 0.250" thickness. Standard widths are 12", 24" and 48". The length can be made up to 150’, however, the typical lengths made are 48’ and 53’. Symplate is shipped in rolls.

Symplate trailer liner installation instructions are provided upon request.


Sym-Mat™

Sym-Mat™ is a Door Mat designed for the step rail of Conventional tractors. It is made with the same artificial grass and high density polyethylene backing as our Spray Guard® Rain Flap.

Because of the heavy duty backing on our mat, Sym-Mat™ doesn’t tear like the store bought door mats. Our mat was designed by a trucker for the trucking industry, not for the front door of your home.

Sym-Mat™ is easily installed to the step rail by utilizing heavy duty Ty-Raps. Our mat is pre-drilled with two holes at each end and two holes in the center. This allows for installation on most Conventional tractors.

Sym-Mat™ is 24" long by 5" wide and is 1" thick.
