Powered 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.
