Fender assembly for concrete mixer truck

A fender assembly for use on a concrete mixer truck and at a location in close proximity to a wheel of the truck, comprising:

• a plurality of support members attachable to a frame portion of the truck at a location in close proximity the wheel, wherein the support members extend outwardly from the frame portion and wherein each of the plurality of support members have an upwardly oriented and curved supporting surface;
• a fender panel having a lower surface in contact with the curved supporting surface of the plurality of support members thereby causing the lower surface of the fender panel to be concave and causing an upper surface of the fender panel to be convex, the fender panel having an outer lip which extends downwardly when the composite fender panel is supported by the supporting members and which covers an end thereof, the fender panel further having an upper surface which is substantially parallel with the lower surface and is positioned opposite the wheel, the upper surface being curved in a shape substantially matching the shape of the curved supporting surface to thus discourage debris from accumulating thereon;
• wherein the fender panel is formed of a non-metallic material which is sufficiently pliable so as to conform to the support surface, has a predetermined surface friction level sufficient to discourage concrete from adhering thereto, and wherein the non-metallic material is resistant to denting, rusting and corroding.
