Air Fairings-Collapsible
|
LCL conceived, designed and manufactures collapsible air fairings for several OEM day cab models which attaches to the existing roof mounts. This device improves the aerodynamic performance of the tractor with fuel savings reaching 12%. It is available in a two or four piece design and mates perfectly with existing roof top and side extenders. The units come with complete hardware, lighting, decaled, colored. The modular design allows the pieces to be stacked (collapsed) and shrinkwrapped for delivery of tractors in piggyback positions with ample clearance. Once delivered the complete air fairing is with the tractor and easily erected in minimal time. |
