|
|
A buddy and I (both longtime flatbedders) have designed a way that a single driver could tarp/untarp any load in 15 minutes. It is completely self-contained and mounts under the trailer. This cuts down on tarp theft and drivers fighting with tarps in windy conditions.
Question being, Would you as an O/O want to purchase a system that works with your existing tarps and saves you labor and time? |

Not really. It would use your existing tarps, use much less space for storage and cost way less than that system. |

How would your system differ from the auto tarp systems already in use?
Also does your system effect the width of the trailer any and will it be able to be used on wider loads? |
