Machinery Tarps

What are Machinery Tarps?

Machinery tarps are heavy duty vinyl tarps, sometimes called steel tarps that make it easier to cover irregular or oddly-shaped loads you need to transport, like farm equipment or other machinery.

Why are Machinery Tarps Important?

It’s important to cover loads with flatbed truck tarps when you’re hauling them, to protect them from the weather, debris that flies up on the road and scratches from any chains or metal binding equipment you might use to secure the load.

• Machinery tarps provide this essential function with the types of loads that can be difficult to completely cover, due to their shape.
• The reason machinery tarps are also called steel tarps is because stacked steel causes some of the same trouble that machines do: they’ve got sharp edges and they’re an irregular shape.
• Machinery tarps deal with this issue specifically.

When are Machinery Tarps Necessary?

Machinery tarps are necessary whenever you want to protect stacked steel loads and machines from damage due to weather, debris, and other potentially harmful elements.

What Types of Machinery Tarps are There?

Machinery tarps come in different sizes with different drops.

Also, some machinery tarps are made completely with 18 oz heavy duty vinyl, while other machinery tarps cover the tops of loads with 18 oz heavy duty vinyl while the sides of the tarp are made of lighter-weight parachute fabric.

How to Use Machinery Tarps?

• Make sure you take care of your tarps and store them properly. That way, they’ll last as long as possible.
• When tying the tarp down over the load, take advantage of the four rows of D-ring tie downs.
• The fact that there are so many tie-down points’ means you can tie the tarp over the load incredibly precisely, without leaving open any gaps that might expose the cargo to damage.
• Taking advantage of the tie-downs straps also means you can spread out the tension rather than over-relying on a single point of tension to hold down the cover.
