Tarping Systems

Overview

Every year many accidents occur related to drivers tarping their flatbed loads, and most of these accidents require significant time loss. Some create permanent disabilities and a few even lead to death. Although the monetary cost of an accident can be very high, making sure everyone goes home safe at the end of the day is the most important concern to all.

The Powered Truck Tarping System is manufactured by U.S. Metal Works to minimize the time-consuming and dangerous task of laying out tarps on top of loads. It enables a single user to tarp a load and never leave the ground. It doesn’t get any safer than that.

The system is a proven design of heavy-duty construction with oversize motors and drives, requiring very low maintenance. It lifts and spreads up to 60 feet of tarp in one operation. Because of the simplicity of design and operation, minimal training is required for operation.

The basic system consists of the bridge and drive rails. In many cases this system can be installed in your existing building. Additional options include a support frame that could be erected in your existing building or stand-alone, and a complete package that comes with bridge, rails, and a pre-engineered metal building. This system is often purchased and placed near an exiting truck traffic lane. The standard system is operated with a pendent control but is also available with a wireless remote control.
