The philosophy behind truck tarps is to protect cargo against damage during transport. At the front of your rig is an exhaust stack that releases all kinds of nasties that could settle on your cargo. So how do you protect the front of the trailer and the cargo it holds? With flatbed trailer smoke tarps.
Smoke tarps are smaller tarps designed to go on the front of a trailer to prevent exhaust and soot from dirtying cargo during transit. They can be used with or without a bulkhead. They are made with tough, 18-ounce vinyl with double stitching and hems reinforced with 2-inch webbing. Grommets and D-rings are also built in for easy securing.
A good smoke tarp can make a real difference in keeping your cargo free of dust, smoke, and soot. We make buying flatbed trailer smoke tarps convenient and easy, so be sure to get yours here.
Smoke tarps, also called nose tarps, are heavy duty 18oz vinyl tarps designed to protect the front of a flatbed load from soot, smoke, and exhaust from the cab’s smokestack.
Features of smoke tarps are described in detail as below:
All smoke tarps are made of heavy duty 18 oz vinyl, which is waterproof and cut-and-tear resistant.
Smoke tarps have double-stitched, reinforced grommets and D-rings on all sides for easy, precise securement.
The D-rings are galvanized and zinc-plated, which makes them rust-resistant.
Some smoke tarps are flat, while others are fitted.
Fitted tarps are easier to wrap over some loads, while flat smoke tarps can be more easily adjusted to cover unusual loads.
