Imagine hauling a load of gravel or sand during inclement weather and you discover that your tarp system isn’t working properly. The last thing you want to do is troubleshoot a motor issue or a major tarp tear during bad weather. An improperly secured tarp is bad for business. A damaged load or dangerous road conditions can lead to lost profit or hefty fines that impact your bottom line.
Municipalities, fleet companies, and owner-operators are responsible for transporting materials safely and efficiently between job sites. Properly securing the load is essential to prevent property damage, injuries, or even fatalities. An arm-style tarp system is a dependable solution for many dump trucks or trailers. When tarp systems are built with high-quality parts and materials, they ensure load containment and bring the necessary level of safety required to comply with regulations.
Dump trailers are rugged vehicles designed to haul everything from loose sand and gravel to scrap metal and building materials. Dump trailers come in a wide range of body styles and lengths that can be customized based on your needs. The tarp system is one aspect of hauling that’s highly specific to individual needs and easily customizable.
Using the right tarp for your dump trailer is essential for ensuring your loads are secure and compliant with regulations. Vinyl tarps offer unparalleled durability and protection, making them an excellent choice for various heavy-duty applications. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of vinyl tarps, the different types of trailer tarp systems, and key features to look for when selecting a vinyl tarp for your dump trailer.
A cable tarp system is one of the most popular tarping systems on the market as it combines nearly unhindered access to the loading area along with reliable and weather resistant coverage of the load (when solid vinyl tarps are used). Fleet operators have trusted cable tarp systems for years to secure trailer loads and keep production flowing. Cable tarp systems are designed to provide end-to-end trailer coverage while providing easy and safe use for operators.
Your automated tarping system is one of the most critical safety components of your truck’s setup. The system is responsible for securing the load and ensuring protection and control of materials during transport. It also keeps other drivers and pedestrians on the road safe by preventing material or debris from flying out while driving.
