Truck Tarps

Need truck tarps at a great savings? The poly truck tarps will get the job done, but if you want the truck tarps that will last long hauls, the vinyl is the industry standard and the way to go. The trucking industry has high standards when it comes to tarps. Both our poly and vinyl truck tarps are made with "D" rings that are triple stitched and are a favorite with our truck tarp customers. These tarps work well on flatbed trucks. The "D" rings are very important for flatbed tarps. The ring attachment helps secure the tarp to areas that need attaching away from the tarp material. This is good to have when conventional grommets are not able to attach the material. The truck tarps are very heavy duty and if you need lightweight truck tarps go to our blue or brown poly tarps page. When these type of materials are transported on a flatbed truck, it is imperative to have the loads covered with very strong tarps.

These truck tarps are made for many types of trucks. Lumber tarps, like truck tarp covers, are built with specific requirements that are needed for the proper applications. The stitching, thickness and D ring placement are very important. If you are looking for a tough truck tarp cover, you cannot beat our truck tarps! 

Safe Usage Of Truck Tarps

Truck driving can be a difficult and hazardous job. It is important to take regular breaks and truck drivers will often have to stop overnight at truck stops. Truck drivers are expected to look after their cargo. To keep it secure and safe from the elements, it is important to use truck tarps.

Truck tarps can weigh up to 100 pounds each, and a cargo load can often require three of these at any one time. This often means a driver has to climb up to secure the tarp and this can be very dangerous. This is why it is important to know how to fix tarps as safely as possible.

When securing a tarp make sure you keep hold of it. Many people keep hold of the ropes, but these can come loose. Truckers know to make sure the tarp is laid out on a flat area and check carefully for holes, or you could damage the cargo.

When choosing a tarp, you should see if you are using an automatic or manual system. Automatic tarp systems are heavier because they do not require people to lift them. Make sure you know what you are transporting to get the appropriate material to cover it. The fabric of the truck tarp can be affected by humidity and UV light, so it is vital to check carefully before setting off. You can usually have tarps made to meet your requested specifications. While cost is a factor, it is vital that you get the right truck tarps for the job.

Truck Tarp Qualities

Truck tarps are not just for protecting materials, equipment and supplies to be transported. Since they can keep your items on the back of the truck, pedestrian accidents and other damages can be prevented. Without a cover, your cargo might fall off either from the speed of the truck or high winds in case you’re doing the transport work under severe weather conditions.

With solid brass grommets found on the corners of the truck tarp, you can easily keep the tarp in one place. Use tie-downs with these rings. We have ropes and cords available here at Tarps Plus.

Both sides of the truck are UV treated so you can expose either side to the sun. Even when used frequently for transport work, it would take years before the tarp will deteriorate. The surface is also waterproof. Water will not leak through the tarp so your items are well protected from the rain and other liquids. Our truck tarps also have arctic flexibility. You can use them even during the winter season.
