We’re human, we know that sometimes, “THINGS” happen. With our extensive background in poly materials and the trucking industry, we understand the physical properties of the materials we use and we know that our poly just doesn’t “break” or “crack” under normal use unless the unforeseeable happens. If so – we have probably done it ourselves, or have tested our material to the utmost extremes and have seen it before. Be sure to check out our videos at https://www.minimizer.com or www.youtube.com or ask a Minimizer sales rep. for one.

We’ve engineered our products’ to last longer than the life of your truck. We’re a family company, we do care about the products we produce on a daily basis.

We want you to keep running our products. So in the event of unlucky stuff happening, please refer to our Stuff Happens (SH) policy below.
