A mud flap lifting device is provided for mounting on a truck or other vehicle in which the device selectively lifts mud flaps away from the tires when the truck is backing up or dumping a load. A pneumatic power cylinder is mounted on a elongate frame and attached to the truck over the mud flaps. A cable extends from the piston of the power cylinder to the mud flaps. Rollers are mounted on the frame such that the actuation of the power cylinder lifts the mud flaps from a fully extended position to a folded, raised position. The existing pneumatic power system of the vehicle may be used and the controls can be mounted in a truck cab to facilitate operation of the device to lift the mud flaps.
Appareil de levage de garde-boue destiné aux camions ou autres véhicules permettant de lever les garde-boue et de les écarter des roues lorsque le camion recule ou déverse sa charge. Un vérin de commande pneumatique est rattaché à un châssis allongé et fixé sur le camion, au-dessus des garde-boue. Un câble relie le piston du vérin de commande aux garde-boue. Des rouleaux sont fixés au châssis de sorte que le vérin soulève les garde-boue, les faisant passer de la position allongée à la position repliée et surélevée. Afin d'en faciliter l'utilisation, l'appareil de levage peut fonctionner avec le système pneumatique existant du véhicule, et le dispositif de commande peut être installé dans la cabine du camion.
