Sustainability at Pulltarps

Covering your load isn’t just the law — it’s good for the environment. Here’s how tarping keeps our roads and waterways clean, and what we do in our own California factory to cut waste.

On the Road

Tarping Keeps Roads & Waterways Clean

A covered load keeps dirt, sand, gravel, and silt off the road and out of our waterways — protecting wildlife, water quality, and the vehicles around you.

Fuel Efficiency

Up to 9% Better Fuel Economy

A UK study found tarping can boost fuel efficiency by up to 9%. For most fleets, a tarp system pays for itself within a year — while making the road safer.

How We Reduce Our Footprint

Recycle

Recycle & Conserve

Excess manufacturing material — down to the chips from our CNC machining — is sorted by type and recycled. Incoming pallets and packaging are reconfigured and reused.

Energy

Energy Efficiency

Our California factory and warehouse run on low-energy lighting, much of it on motion sensors that shut off unoccupied areas.

Waste

Less Paper, Less Waste

We moved from printed mailers to monthly e-newsletters and digital brochures, cutting paper waste and the demand on trees.
