Commercial truck drivers depend on high-quality roll tarp systems to keep their cargo contained and protected. Utilizing quality components to help seal the cargo space can ensure safety and efficiency while protecting loads from road grime, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions.

No matter the type of trailer, its critical that contamination like water and road debris is minimized.  Shock and impacts from harsh road conditions and trailer contact with shipping docks also need to be addressed.

This is precisely why rubber products, including seals and bumpers, have become essential within the transportation industry. Integrating these products into tarp-based trucking is proven to enhance functionality, increase durability, and reduce downtime and insurance claims.

Properly selected and maintained rubber products protect cargo from weather and damage, enhance energy efficiency, reduce noise, improve safety, and contribute to the overall performance and longevity of transport trailers, especially the rack & tarp variety.
