Protect Your Cargo with Durable Flatbed Truck Tarps
Every flatbed truck driver needs to maintain a collection of flatbed truck tarps, kits, and accessories. Flatbed trailer tarps are an indispensable tool of the trade, and they’re essential for protecting cargo while on the haul from pickup to delivery. At Mytee Products, we offer customers a full range of flatbed trailer tarps in different sizes, shapes, and materials! For example, our steel tarps come in a variety of sizes; they are among our best sellers.
However, we also sell specific, unique, and incredibly important flatbed tarps like the Bee Hauling Tarp, for truckers transporting fragile or niche cargo! Our lightweight semi truck tarps inventory also includes lumber tarps, smoke tarps, coil tarps, and more, making it easy and simple to find the best flatbed trailer tarp for your needs! Each one is made using heavy-duty, high-strength materials and the finest craftsmanship. Our flatbed truck tarps are built tough and made to last.
Flatbed Tarps for Trailers & Trucks
The 'one-size-fits-all' approach doesn't work with all semi truck tarps. We carry so many varieties because there is a different kind of flatbed trailer tarp for every job! Your key to success as a flatbed truck driver is choosing the right tarp for the load you are carrying.
There is a flatbed truck tarpaulin for every job. Do not settle for just one kind of tarp. Consider the kinds of loads you normally haul, then make sure you have an adequate supply of tarps for each of those loads.
Our two most popular flatbed tarps for sale are steel and lumber tarps. A steel tarp is an all-purpose lightweight Truck tarp for general cargo. It has a low profile and four sides, making it ideal for steel loads. Use it to cover cables, sheets, and most other steel products. It works well for most pallet loads!
For haulers that transport heavy-duty cargo, the lumber tarp is generally larger than a steel tarp and is meant to cover cargo such as lumber loads. It is a high-profile tarp for trailer with long sides and a back flap for full coverage against weather and debris. We carry a variety of lumber tarps in assorted sizes and configurations.
It’s important to know the type of cargo you do or plan to haul, as that will determine whether the lightweight flatbed truck tarps are better suited for you or if the lumber tarps for flatbed trailers will do a more adequate job at keeping your cargo safe!
