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.
