LOCATE A PULLTARPS® SERVICE CENTER NEAR YOU!

Before system installation, find out if your truck can have a tarp system added to it. Is there adequate room for the installation? Is the exhaust system in the way? Will the hoist need to be moved back? Will the frame need to be sectioned? Is this something that you would feel more comfortable having a professional handle?

Working with a local dealer/distributor can make the installation process easier by having them handle the purchase and installation of the tarp system. Find out from your dealer what you are required to do to keep your tarp system in warranty. If you need to locate an installation document, you can find them in our Installation Docs in the Technical Documents section of the website or by calling our customer service department. Ask for training from the dealer in the proper way to use the tarp system. If training is not available directly from them, check our Technical Documents resources or contact our Customer Service department at [email protected].

What’s Next?

Once your company has purchased a tarping system based on the features and style you want and it is installed and ready to go, test the tarp system to see if the arms lift together in unison. If they do not, the system needs to have the tarp or arms adjusted. What you do is dependent upon which tarp system you have.

Train your drivers using the information provided by the our Resources section. Additional points for truck drivers to consider are:

• Being aware of telephone and power lines before operating the tarp system.
• Un-tarp the load before he or she tries to dump or unload the container. Nothing takes a tarp system out of commission faster than unloading a container while the container is covered by the tarp system.
• If the arms do not move or only one moves, check to make sure that there aren’t any obstructions coming from the container. If there are no obstructions, then troubleshoot the problem so that the system can be fixed before arm damage occurs.
• If the load is heaped above the container, then you may need a tarp with flaps that properly secures the load. Avoid getting a littering citation or harming the environment by contacting [email protected] and tell them the size of side flaps you need.

Lifetime of the Tarping System

The lifetime of a tarping system depends on several factors— the system components, the maintenance schedule that you currently have in place, the type of load you are covering, the condition your containers are in, tarp material used, and each driver’s attention to the system. If you have a driver who constantly has to get his truck serviced due to abuse or neglect then no tarp system will last very long. If you have a truck that rarely requires service coupled with a driver who is meticulous and has considerable attention to detail, then you should be able to get a long life out of your tarp system. On average where the tarp roller is mounted to the arms and the tarp is rolled out over the load, a tarp should expect between nine to 12 months of usage or longer.
