Guide To Steel Tarps


Guide To Steel Tarps

Steel Tarps are designed to keep high density low area freight secure and protected on a flatbed truck. These type of tarps got their name from their wide spread use in hauling flat steel plates, steel rods, coils, cables etc. Steel Tarps are typically made with 18 Oz Vinyl (PVC Coated Polyester) to ensure it can take the heavy wear and tear that comes with hauling steel and weigh anywhere from 40 – 70 Lbs depending on their size.

Steel Tarps usually have a 4 feet Drop which is ample to secure shorter items such as steel sheets and rods. They are constructed with grommets along the edges and 2 or 3 rows of “D” Rings along the sides and ends of the tarp to make it easy to tie down the tarp securely over a load. Tarp Straps / Bungee Straps need to be purchased separately to tie down the tarp.

Covering with a tarp is one of the most effective and economical ways of protecting your cargo from the elements (wind, rain, snow or sunlight) and keeping it tied down securely on the road.
