Tarps Protect Freight

Heavy-duty vinyl tarps provide freight protection when it comes to shipping freight on a flatbed trailer. Regardless of how well the freight is stacked, the entire load needs to be protected from the elements of the road such as dust or exposure to moisture. The high wind pressure created at normal tractor-trailer driving speeds becomes very strong thus tarps also protect from wind damage and prolonged exposure to high wind speeds.

Flatbed Trailer Tarps

Flatbed trailer drivers utilize heavy vinyl tarps with a weight of at least 18 ounces that are UV treated and waterproof. These heavy duty tarps are not only ten times stronger than the typical blue poly covers you see, but they will not break down or deteriorate in the hot sun either.
