Braving a crazy variety of natural elements while transporting valuable payloads from commercial or residential job sites to destinations along highway stretches or local streets – that is exactly what your heavy-duty commercial vehicle does regularly without breaking a sweat!
Tarp is short for tarpaulin, a heavy-duty, waterproof fabric used to protect items from the elements. Tarps come in various sizes, materials, and colors, and are used for a wide range of applications, from covering vehicles to shielding construction sites from the sun and rain.
One of the most important aspects of hauling scrap and recycling materials is load securement. Heavy-duty recycling trucks have unique demands that require a durable load securement solution to keep everyone safe. The right tarp system will reliably contain or protect your load, create a safer work environment and maximize ROI.
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.
Mesh tarps are one of the most common tarping materials and can be found on nearly every style of tarp system including flip systems and side roller systems. Mesh tarps are preferred by dump truck and trailer operators because of their durability and reliability. And without proper load securement, drivers run the risk compliance issues with state or federal regulations.
Whether you are hauling crops in from the field or wood chips to a paper mill, ensuring that the load moves safely from one location to the next is imperative. Every industry faces unique hauling challenges. Grain trailers must consider keeping the load dry while bottom dump trailers carrying asphalt need to maintain heat while transferring the load. Load securement is just one piece of this puzzle.
The tarp roller systems used for single axle hook lifts, multi axle roll offs, trailers for larger containers, or even luggers and skip loaders are among the toughest and most durable tarping systems manufactured. They are built to withstand harsh environments yet operate efficiently so you spend less time fumbling at the jobsite.
One of the most important aspects of moving materials is load securement. Securing your load is a matter of safety and good business, particularly within the construction, agricultural, recycling and refuse industries. These heavy-duty trucks have unique demands that require a durable load securement solution. The right electric tarp system will reliably contain or protect your load, create a safer work environment and maximize ROI.
