*NOTE: This article references some of our now discontinued utility trailers. We discontinued our utility trailer lineup in 2021 to focus on what makes Diamond C Trailers truly unique – our heavier duty flatbed gooseneck, equipment, and dump models. You may still see some of our utility models from this article on dealer lots while we transition away from producing them.

Diamond C offers a variety of customizable fender choices for your trailer – from smooth to diamond plate to removable. Some options are for looks, and some are for added functionality and protection. Keep scrolling to learn all about our fender choices for your trailer.

Drive-Over fenders are especially handy when loading wide equipment. Found as an upgrade on all CAR HAULERS and Equipment Trailer models LPX and HDT. These pair great with FRAME EXTENSIONS for those extra-wide loads.

Removable Fenders

In certain cases, we’ve found that some trailer users prefer the option to have removable fenders depending on what cargo or equipment they are hauling. Dealers who ship large quantities of trailers greatly benefit from this as it means they can stack more trailers on each load.
Most of our flatbed models (UVT Utility, all CAR HAULERS, and LPX and HDT Equipment trailer models) feature bolt-on fenders as standard, so they can easily be removed in a few steps by undoing 4 bolts.

How are tandem trailer fenders measured?

To Measure Length - Measure across the fender length from lip to lip at the bottom. To Measure Height - Measure from the lower lip of the fender to the very top of the fender. To Measure Width - Measure from the trailer wall to the outside lip of the fender.

Is a tandem axle trailer worth it?

Tandem trailers are great for heavier loads and are a great option if you are growing your business. By picking a tandem model, you will be less likely to outgrow your trailer; the extra upfront cost may be worth it in the long run.

How much clearance do you need between fender and trailer wheels?

As a general rule, when your trailer is loaded to it's full capacity, there should be a minimum clearance of 3 inches between the top of your tire and the underside of your fender. This should give you adequate clearance for potholes and bumps.
