Rolling tarp covers a vehicle in seconds
Mar 1, 2009 12:00 PM
Jerr-Dan Corporation and Aero Industries have introduced a new, easy-to-operate rolling tarp model. Jointly developed, this model is available only to the carrier bed market through Jerr-Dan.
Based on Aero Industries Conestoga 2 rolling tarp system, named for the covered wagons of early pioneers, the system features a design that easily covers and uncovers a carrier deck in seconds. Instead of having to climb over the carrier deck and tie down a tarp, the driver can walk alongside and cover a vehicle in seconds. Other key features include:
A patented wheel and track system — featuring a lifetime wheel warranty — where steel wheels and a stainless steel track insert work to smooth out the process of opening and closing. The solid wheel bearings are maintenance-free.
A rear-locking system that increases the tarp's tension while securing the load from ground level for safe and smooth operation. All lock components travel with the rear bow assembly, and there are no cumbersome loading obstructions or hardware to remove or store.
A patented system of spring shocks on the uplift bows reduce vibration from road conditions, keeping the tarp tight and reducing wear on the uplift bows. The uplift bows are low-maintenance, with no fasteners, pins, or bushings to service or replace.
A 30-inch rear bow assembly adds stability to the system, slides easily, and will not flex while opening and closing the system. The front of the system is fastened to a U.S. DOT-rated bulkhead.
A strong, coated vinyl tarp, available in several colors, works without cables to provide a tight, seamless cover.
