A NEW product to tackle mudflap problems on trucks and lorries vehicles has been launched by a Burnley firm.

Boydell and Jacks, of Healey Wood Industrial Estate, has designed the product to solve the problem of mud flaps being ripped off when vehicles have restricted ground clearance on building sites or when loading on to ferries.

The new self-cleaning flaps can be adjusted for height and lowered before the vehicle returns to the road.
