US Tarp introduces Safe-T-Lift for certain tarp systems

Us Tarp Lift Tarping System

US Tarp has announced the introduction of Safe-T-Lift for pull style tarping systems.

US Tarp now provides a 16- and 18-ft. optional Safe-T-Lift for pull style tarping systems for truck tarps. In addition to providing this option that keeps drivers safer, the new Safe- T-Lift is easy to use, resulting in increased driver productivity, the company says.

Safe-T-Lift is ideal for 8- to 10-ft. high body sidewalls, widely used by state departments of transportation across the country. Pull style tarps typically come equipped with a mid-rope the driver must pull up and over the load while walking back to hook and latch on a J-hook at the rear of the truck body. Because the truck sidewalls are tall and loads can be coarse, these systems can be difficult to pull. In many instances, the driver is required to climb up on the sidewalls to reach the pull rope or move the pull bar over the load. This can place the operator in an unsafe situation.

US Tarp says the Safe-T-Lift is an easy-to-use spring and arm system that lifts the rear pull bar over the load. It is easier and safer to operate than a standard pull style tarp system alone. Its spring-tensioned arms use a light single spring on each side, permitting the driver to easily pull the tarp and walk it to the back. The Safe-T-Lift allows the driver to deploy or stow the tarp quickly from ground level increasing safety and productivity without adding significant cost or complexity to the system.

Safe-T-Lift by US Tarp is a first-fit option for new dump body installations and can be easily retrofit by dealers to most traditional pull style tarp systems. The US Tarp crossbar fits through the tarp pocket and can be adapted to upgrade older competitive brand installations, the company says.
