The Back-story
For over 30 years we have developed an extensive range of mudguards for pretty much wheel size out there. The mudguards product range includes every material – alloy, plastic and stainless steel. Plus, all the components to fit mudguards to trucks or trailers. But something has been missing.
Mudflaps
Mudflaps are on most mudguards and on trucks or trailers that don’t have mudguards so why wouldn’t we offer this? If we were going to do something it couldn’t be the same as everything else on the market; that’s not the way, we roll at Rhino.
The challenge
So, we set ourselves a challenge – make a mudflap to compliment the qualities you’ve come to expect from Rhino so you can maximise transport performance. This means the mudflaps would need to be high performing, visually distinctive and sustainable – all delivered with great service.
We started with customer insights and research and used this information to solve some very challenging research and development, design and production challenges (that’s a whole other story).
You told us you wanted a range of sizes. Mudflaps needed to be high performing with material options for different uses. Colours were important along with branding options and continuity of supply. Being recyclable was key.
The Results
We are stoked to release Rhino mudflaps with the key features:
- Sizing to match Rhino guards in metric and imperial sizing options. See our mudflap sizing chart here.
- High performing in all conditions ranging from freezing to hot. Check out our performance results.
- Two material options – standard plastic and premium flexible plastic. The premium flexible option has to be seen to be believed.
- Two colours – white and black. We can do other colours for high volume customers.
- Security of supply – NZ made so no waiting for long offshore delays.
- No minimum order quantities!
- Sustainable – all Rhino mudflaps are recyclable and will join our hugely popular Rhino plastic guard recycling programme.
