Tarping systems

You can see why you can't turn while the kit is open.;


Trailer open, full view;


Roll past kit. You can see they have to cut the rub rails off to have this option;


This is the position you would have to pin the kit in if you were going to run with it open. Notice the lifters are higher than normal;

 

Still a very nice setup. I got stuck with a 48 flat for a few weeks here and I sure wouldn't mind a system. Every dam load is "8 ft tarps required" LOL !!!!

 

Eew! I can't imagine tarping this time of year or middle of summer. If it was just the heat/cold I could handle it, but the wind pisses me off like nothing else!

 

I don't mind tarping in the wind so much, but throwing straps over a tall load in the wind makes my temper come out.

 

Just about every load I have found this week wanted full tarps, even the 10' wide stuff !!!!

Got me a military truck to babysit over the weekend and an OS to Nashville Wednesday. But I'm gonna start looking at used trailers very soon with some type of tarping system I think. Would open up a larger selection of loads plus the rates seem better, tho the cost of the trailer justifies the higher rate

 

Shc do you want a 48x102 that stretches out to 81 feet? It's a 99 fontaine in good shape. Not a lot of rust. 15,000 and you could be hauling that high dollar freight. I'd offer you a step but I think I sold it.

 

My dad has a Ravens step he's wanting to get rid of. I can't remember what year it is off hand but if your looking for something like that let me know.

 

I'll be looking for a step for sure but it's not gonna be till after summer. I need to get my savings account built back up 1st. Plus I'll be looking for something at 51'

 

did someone say $23,000 for a tarping system?!?!

 

Yep, but that's for a 53' trailer with the roll past option ($$$) and the front door.
