Mud Flap Hangers
Mud flap hangers are accessories used to support mud flaps on semi-trucks, trailers and heavy-duty vehicles. Using mud flaps provides several benefits including protecting the frame and undercarriage from road salt, grime and other debris that causes rust and corrosion. In addition to protecting a trailer, they shield other vehicles from gravel, rocks and road spray that gets flung out from the rear of the vehicle, especially at high speeds.
Mud flap hangers are constructed of metal and are straight, tapered or have a 45-degree angle to fit different types of mud flaps. Some mud flap hangers also include lighting or reflective tape for conspicuity compliance. They are easy to install and maintain and are available in various styles to match the look of your vehicle.

Using Semi Mud Flap Hangers for Compliance with State Regulations
All states have laws regulating the use of mud flaps on semi-trucks, trailers, and other commercial vehicles. California DOT mud flap requirements, for example, require all vehicles to be fitted with fenders, covers, or mud flaps that cover the entire width of all tires. Requirements vary widely by state, but any failure to comply with the law results in fines or issues with the DOT. It is important to check state guidelines regularly, as requirements can change. Also keep in mind that there are federal regulations regarding the use of reflective conspicuity tape on mud flaps and other areas of your truck.Our Semi Truck Mud Flap Hangers Provide Reliable Mud Flap Retention
Mud flaps that are installed incorrectly or with inferior quality mud flap hangers are prone to falling off or being torn off by your truck tires. This causes downtime on the road to make repairs and the added expense of replacing a lost mud flap. To avoid potential issues, you need sturdy mud flaps and reliable, high-quality mud flap hangers to keep your mud flaps in place.
Back in 1954, we received the first-ever patent for a mud flap hanger, and we’ve been committed to developing mud flap installation standards for the heavy-duty trucking industry ever since. As part of the Betts Company family, our history of quality and innovation dates back to the 1860s.
