The configurator walks you through truck class, bed dimensions, and hauling material — then recommends the right system, motor configuration, and compatible tarp.
In-cab control means operators never climb on the bed or step into traffic to cover a load, which cuts injury risk and shaves minutes off every haul.

Made in California
Designed, machined, and assembled in the USA. Parts ship same-day from California — no overseas backorder lag.
An automatic tarp system uses an electric motor and a roller tube to deploy a tarp over a dump truck or trailer bed at the push of a button. Operators control it from inside the cab — no climbing, no manual cranking. Pulltarps automatic systems cover or uncover a full load in under 30 seconds.
Automatic systems are electric, in-cab controlled, and the fastest to deploy — best for high-cycle operations and Class 7-9 trucks. Semi-automatic systems use a spring-assisted ratchet that the operator pulls manually — lower cost, no electrical install. EZ-Fit kits are bolt-on solutions for smaller landscape and work trucks.

Yes. The Open 9000E and Steel Protector + both fit dump trailers as well as dump trucks, provided the bed dimensions are within range. For trailers outside standard ranges, the configurator builds to your exact spec.
When paired with a properly sized tarp, all Pulltarps automatic systems meet or exceed federal load-covering requirements and the load-covering rules in all 50 states. View state-by-state tarping regulations.
Hardware components carry a lifetime warranty. Motors typically run 5-10 years under daily use. Tarps are wear items and are replaced on a usage cycle (12-36 months depending on material and load type).
