Trailer Mudguard FAQs
Do I need mudguards on my trailer?
In most cases, yes. UK Construction & Use Regulations generally require trailers to have wheels adequately covered to reduce the risk of injury from projected mud, water or stones, unless an exemption applies. Check the specific requirements for your trailer type and use if you're unsure.
Do all trailers need mudguards, or are some exempt?
Some exemptions exist depending on trailer type, wheel position and speed, but the majority of towed trailers on public roads need mudguards fitted. If you're unsure whether your setup qualifies for an exemption, it's worth checking with a specialist rather than assuming.
What are mudguard fixings and accessories used for?
Brackets, fastenings and flaps hold the mudguard securely to the trailer chassis or axle, keeping it stable at speed and positioned correctly to do its job.
What's the difference between single axle and twin axle mudguards?
Single axle mudguards cover one wheel per side, while twin axle mudguards are shaped to cover both wheels on a tandem-axle trailer in one piece. Check your trailer's axle configuration before ordering.
Do I need a rain flap or mudflap as well as a mudguard?
A rain flap or mudflap extends the coverage of the mudguard closer to the ground, reducing spray further. It's good practice alongside a mudguard, particularly for trailers used regularly in wet conditions.
How do I fit a mudguard bracket?
Most brackets bolt directly to the chassis or mudguard, positioned to hold the guard firmly over the wheel without fouling the tyre through its full range of suspension movement. Check bracket length matches your mudguard and mounting position before fitting.
