Stoughton Lease will begin installation of SmartTruck TopKit Aero Systems on across its entire fleet of rental and lease trailers.
The SmartTruck TopKit Aero System is an aerodynamic solution for trailers that doesn’t require undertrailer components like side skirts. Named an HDT Top 20 Product, the TopKit is available for dry vans and reefers with swing or rollup doors as well as straight trucks.
"We chose SmartTruck as our aero partner for several important reasons," said Paul Sulewski, Stoughton lease president. "The proven durability of the TopKit, combined with SmartTruck's limited lifetime warranty, gives our customers peace of mind that they will not have to contend with costly damages at the end of the rental or lease period."
The TopKit Aero System drag-reduction solution is EPA SmartWay Verified and California Air Resources Board compliant.
