62 COMMERCIAL CARRIER JOURNAL | FEBRUARY 2015 PRODUC TS Poly toolbox Minimizer's 18-inch poly toolbox is light- er than metal and is built to fit into many tight places on trucks, truck chassis and trailers for a variety of applications. The durable toolbox is made of solid molded plastic materials engineered to withstand harsh environments and won't rust, crack or require paint. The toolbox weighs 22.8 pounds and measures 18-by-24-by-18 inches to allow for mounting onto trucks that have less room near the axles or near the liftgate, which allows it to house liftgate controls. It provides a right-to- left door orientation for the driver's side and is designed to allow for easy access to electrical hookups, hydraulic controls, fuel cells, battery boxes, spill kits/hazmat kits and other industry uses. Minimizer, www.minimizer.com Wide-based splash guard Andersen Flaps' Eco-flaps aerodynam- ic splash guard line now includes an 18-inch-wide model that can be paired with wide-based tires. The splash guard's design helps reduce wind resistance and excessive road spray by redirecting air - borne water to the pavement rather than into a passing or trailing vehicle's line of sight. The splash guard is made from durable high-impact nylon to enable it to withstand extreme conditions and provide longer life. A custom short - er-length option means less surface to block airflow behind the tires to facilitate improved highway fuel economy; it also helps reduce the risk of catching when backing over curbs.
