For a look at the new USS-120A, visit Utility’s booth #20145 Hall F during GATS. The USS-120A is now available as a factory installed option for new Utility trailers. Retrofitting for existing trailers is available through Utility’s Aftermarket Department. To find out more about Utility’s new USS-120A, contact a local dealer.

The next generation USS-120A side skirt includes an F.R.P. cover over Utility’s unique 5-hole pattern design on the wingplate. The covered wingplate holes effectively increase the length of the side skirt by up to 2-feet, which increases aerodynamic efficiency. Additionally, the rear edge of the skirt at the support leg assembly is connected by a “slip joint” for reduced impact damage.*This release is not intended to provide legal advice or legal opinion as to the applicability of the California regulation to any particular end use.
