Mudguards for trailers
Perfect-fit solutions for reliable protection

At the same time, they help protect sensitive parts and increase the trailer's service life. Depending on the trailer type and intended use, mudguards vary in material, design and size.
The AL-KO VT range includes mudguards made from aluminium, steel and plastic for single and tandem axles. The different versions allow for use on a wide variety of trailers – from car trailers and boat and horse trailers to commercial and specialist trailers. This means you'll find the right solution for numerous trailer types and areas of use.
