Tarpaulin for trucks and trailers has grown significantly in popularity not only in South Africa, but around the world. It offers numerous benefits for both the transporter and the receiver, benefits that are too good to overlook and pass on. Previously many owners of open trucks and trailers might have found it difficult to transport materials from point A to point B without incurring some sort of loss or damage. When having an open truck or flatbed one has to always carry the fear of losing hopefully a small portion of materials and load during the transit due to bumpy roads, harsh weather and even looting. The word hopefully is used loosely as sometimes the loss can be substantially greater than a small portion. Fortunately all these issues, concerns and fears can now be put to rest and taken care of by using truck tarps. Tarps have become an essential component in the trucking and transport industry.
