Tarp systems
built to last.

Precision-engineered, in-house-manufactured tarp systems for the dump truck industry — designed from the ground up for the way trucks actually work.

American Made

Every component designed, machined, and assembled in-house in Grove City, Ohio. No overseas sourcing, no shortcuts.

Built to Last

Billet high-strength steel, sealed bearings, and captured hardware — engineered for years of hard use, not a warranty window.

Innovative

Anti-walk pulleys, direct-drive motors, one-piece billet tensioners — problems solved by an engineer who's been on a shop floor since he was 13.

Easy Installation

Adjustable width mounts. Fewer moving parts. Clean, fully documented fitment on any bed — day-one usable, day-one reliable.

Manufactured In House

Every part.
Under one roof.

Most tarp systems on the market are built from off-the-shelf hardware repurposed from other industries. We do it differently. From billet steel blanks to finished, powder-coated assemblies — every component is designed, machined, welded, and assembled in our Ohio shop.

  • Billet high-strength steel construction, engineered specifically for tarp systems
  • Precision CNC machining and in-house welding
  • Sealed, high-quality bearings for long, trouble-free service
  • Full quality control at every step — no outsourced assemblies
Our Story
The System

Every component engineered.

A complete tarp system is only as strong as its weakest part. Ours doesn't have one.

On The Truck
Real Trucks, Real Work

Designed for
the way trucks
actually work.

Anti-walk rear pulleys that lock the bearing in place. Captured pulley systems that retain the cable if the bed side gets snagged. Adjustable-width mounts that install clean on any bed. Every design decision came from watching operators lose time on the road — and fixing the cause.
