  • Cuts fuel consumption by up to 6%.
  • Enhances the aerodynamics of a trailer.
  • Reduces harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Reduces drag and jerking from gusting wind.
  • Improves appearance and performance.
  • Low initial investment, pay back is short.
  • Quick and easy to install.

Now with a Flexible Lower Extrusion to prevent damage to the bottom of the skirts from obstacles.

Air Slipper® Side Skirts enhance the aerodynamics of a trailer by forcing air flow to be redirected and preventing air from hitting the rear under-structure of the trailer. This stabilizes the trailer and reduces drag and swaying, which results in a smoother ride and real fuel savings. In fact, depending on how many miles are logged, the initial investment can be paid off in as little as five months.

Ever Fresh Transportation of Grand Rapids, Michigan road tested the “Air Slipper® Side Skirts” and found during field tests they improved mileage by 6%+ or .3 to.4 miles per gallon on actual routes. Owners Mont Reed and Carl Bossenbroek stated that the aerodynamics of a trailer equipped with the “Air Slipper® Side Skirts” has really helped with improving the fuel economy of their fleet.

"Not only are we saving on our fuel costs, but the Air Slipper® Side Skirts reduced the side drag, or swaying, when I’m going under an overpass on a windy day. It’s like it cuts through the air."

James Taylor,
Driver for Ever Fresh
