Truck Tarping System
“The safest way to tarp a
truck load is by never leaving the ground”
New on the market is an exciting product in the
area of safety for tarping trucks. This Powered Truck Tarping System,
more than any other system, reduces the exposure to incidents and claims
due to driver falls and accidents as a result from hand tarping loads.
Every year many accidents occur related to
driver’s tarping loads and most of these accidents require significant
time loss. Some create permanent disabilities and a few 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 Inc. to minimize the time
consuming and dangerous task of laying out tarps on top of loads. This
system of tarping a load, allows a single user to tarp a load and never
leave the ground. It doesn’t get any safer than that. U.S. Metal
Works Inc. is a company that has produced quality products for the
wood products industry for the last 25 years.
This Powered Truck Tarping System is a
proven design of heavy-duty construction with oversize motors and drives
requiring very low maintenance. The system lifts and spreads up to 60
feet of tarp in one operation. Because of the simplicity of design and
operation minimal training is required to operate the system.
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, support frame, corrugated sheet metal
roof and siding. 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.
