Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for mounting an aerodynamic add-on device to a transport vehicle. decreasing aerodynamic drag, improving stability, and reducing road spray of a transport vehicle. The apparatus employs support posts and support cables to mount the aerodynamic add-on device, such as a trailer skirt, to a transport trailer. The apparatus and method facilitate the installation of the aerodynamic add-on device by one person and allow for the use of lighter, more cost-effective materials in the manufacture of the aerodynamic add-on device.
