Our 24’ x 27’ airbag ultra-light lumber tarp takes the number one spot on our list, being our most popular tarp of 2021! Airbag tarps – also called Parachute tarps – are lightweight thanks to the material they’re made of but our ultra-light parachute tarp is, well, ultra-lightweight coming to a total of 79 pounds.
The coated, nylon airbag material is superior in strength to other lightweight tarps, like vinyl, and it’s tear and water-resistant. Thanks to these benefits, many truckers and homeowners love airbag tarps! These best-selling flatbed trucking tarps are typically used to contain or keep out debris and waste. They’re common on construction sites and flatbed trucking for protecting cargo from damage from weather conditions and direct sunlight.

Taking second place on our best flatbed products list is our 16’ x 27’ airbag/parachute ultralight lumber tarp.

3. 4in x 30ft Winch Strap with Flat Hook
When it comes to choosing the best cargo control products for your trucking or hauling business, straps will always be in our top 10 list! All of our winch straps are made from heavy-duty webbing, which allows for minimal stretching and thus maximum wear and tears resistance!
You can use winch straps to secure cargo to flatbed trailers; the flat hook end fitting is the most standard and common end fitting you’ll find on straps, but they are the best for distributing tension from the load for increased stability!

Making its way onto our best-selling products list, our 5/16’’ Peerless Ratchet Binder with Folding Handle is a very popular ratcheting option among flatbed truckers because of its unique design.

It allows for quick installation and uses, operating as other standard ratcheting binders, but once you’ve completed tightening the load you can fold the handle to keep the binder out of the way until you’ve reached your destination. It’s also easy to fold and store and is extremely durable, proof-tested, and heat-treated. It’s a perfect cargo control product for truckers that frequently work with G70 or G80 chains.
