Construction, agriculture, and landscaping trucks often need tarp coverage due to the rough and rugged nature of the work. Whether you are hauling rock, dirt, landscaping debris, sand, or gravel, most states require trailers and trucks to be covered so that no materials can escape. Many times, we see trucks driving with no tarp coverage, only to have something fly out and hit another vehicle. Further, any person who damages a street or highway is now liable for the cost of repairing the road.
TRUCK & TRAILER TARP SYSTEMS
Pulltarps® manufactures some of the strongest, most durable tarp systems available in the industry. Made to cover heavy-duty operations, the SuperShield™ is the top choice for most contractors and construction managers. There are many advantages to the SuperShield System, the biggest being its durability. The fully-welded 12-gauge steel construction offers the best protection from falling debris. Available in electric and pull tarp systems, the SuperShield is Pulltarps’ premium and most durable system.
Tarping a truck can be time consuming when using a hand-crank system. Therefore, Pulltarps makes automatic and semi-automatic tarp systems to save time. Semi-automatic systems retract promptly with one easy pull. And automatic systems swiftly cover trailer beds with the flip of a switch. Featuring a 1.3 hp electric motor with a five-year warranty, Pulltarps’ electric tarp systems can be operated by a wireless remote control, in-cab switch, or external switch for added safety.
CUSTOM TARPS
Keeping a “stay back 200 feet” sign on your truck is not enough to cover your liability, but a Pulltarps mesh tarp will cover you. Heavy Duty Mesh tarps are made to exact dimensions for every truck and trailer size. Those hauling mulch, compost, brush, and dirt can cover peaked loads knowing that their tarp is durable and won’t leak any load.
Construction, gravel, and sand companies may want to upgrade to Super HD Mesh, which is double-woven, making it less permeable than the classic Heavy Duty Mesh Tarps. Vinyl truck tarps are waterproof and provide the most protection from outside elements; they also are non-permeable, meaning that nothing can get through them—not even the wind.
Asphalt tarps are available for construction companies working to create roads and taxiways. Asphalt tarps are important because they do not stick to the asphalt and maintain the extremely high temperatures needed for asphalt hauling.
TARP MATERIALS
Pulltarps offers four types of tarping materials, from its least expensive HD Mesh, its Super Heavy-Duty Mesh, 18-ounce Waterproof Vinyl, and 400-degree rated Asphalt Vinyl.
- Heavy Duty Mesh is vinyl coated polyester mesh with an open weave
- Super HD Mesh is 18-ounce vinyl coated polyester mesh fabric with a double weave
- 18-ounce Waterproof vinyl is seamless and full width
- Asphalt Vinyl is 14-ounce 400-degree rated material with a urethane coating
