Truck tarp systems for dump bodies from 8 to 23 feet
Buyers Products builds its tarp systems around the length of the body. The 4-spring systems cover 8 to 19 foot bodies and the 5-spring systems cover 14 to 23 feet, each in a steel or aluminum arm set, mounted at the side or on underbody springs, and each sold as an electric kit with a 600W 90:1 or 900W 60:1 gear motor, with or without a wind deflector. Below those sit the pull-style tarp systems with spring assist for shorter bodies, the DTR series dump tarp kits with round axle (7-1/2 by 12 foot mesh among the sizes), the DTT series aluminum dump tarp kits and the TDH series. This is a sub-collection of Buyers Products Vehicle Accessories.
Shop tarp systems by type
Electric tarp systems
The side mount and underbody-spring mount systems are the automatic tarp systems most searches here are after, run from a cab switch. Choose 4-spring aluminum or steel for 8 to 19 foot bodies and 5-spring for 14 to 23 feet, then the motor. The 600W 90:1 motor is the standard fitment; the 900W 60:1 motor is the faster, higher torque option.
Pull-style and manual dump tarp kits
The pull-style system with spring assist is the hand-operated roll tarp for smaller dump bodies and dump trailers; the spring returns the tarp when released. The DTR series round axle dump tarp kits and the DTT series aluminum kits are complete manual systems with tarp, axle and crank, sized to the box.
Tarp motors and replacement parts
The electric tarp gear motors are sold on their own in 600W 90:1 and 900W 60:1 ratings, and the 900W motor is listed in both a 1 year and a 3 year warranty version. Aluminum and steel tarp joints, rear anti-sail tension bow kits, weld-on tarp hooks and 15 inch rubber tarp straps by the carton cover the wear points.
Mesh and solid replacement tarps
Heavy duty black mesh tarps are the standard cover for gravel, sand and aggregate, listed in widths of 6-1/2, 7-1/2 and 8 feet and lengths to 26 feet. Solid heavy duty black tarps suit material that must stay dry. Replacement tarps for the SaltDogg SHPE4000 hopper are here too, alongside the spreaders in SaltDogg spreaders.
Common applications
Aggregate haulers and municipal dump fleets fit the electric 4-spring and 5-spring systems. Landscaping contractors with dump trailers and short dump bodies use the pull-style and DTR kits. Roll-off operators buy the 12 by 26 foot mesh tarps, and dump insert owners find matching covers through DumperDogg inserts.
Why Buyers Products tarp systems
- Systems sized by body length. 8 to 19 foot and 14 to 23 foot ranges are stated on every kit, with steel or aluminum arms.
- Motor choice on the kit. 600W 90:1 or 900W 60:1 gear motors are listed per kit and sold separately for replacement.
- Ships across Canada. Priced in Canadian dollars, most parts ship in 7 to 10 business days from Winnipeg.
Choosing the right tarp system
Measure the inside length of the body first and pick the 8 to 19 or 14 to 23 foot range, then decide side mount or underbody mount by where the springs can sit on your body. Choose aluminum arms to save weight on a payload-limited truck and steel where the arms take abuse. For a replacement tarp, measure the old one flat and match the mesh or solid material. If you are not sure what fits, contact us with your year, make, model and configuration.
Common questions
How do automatic tarp systems for trucks work?
An electric gear motor on the front arm pivot swings a pair of spring-loaded arms over the body, pulling the tarp from the front roller to the tailgate; reversing the motor rolls it back. The Buyers kits use 600W or 900W 12 volt gear motors and 4 or 5 springs depending on body length.
What size tarp do I need for a dump truck?
Match the body's inside length and add enough width to cover the sides of the load; Buyers lists mesh tarps in 6-1/2, 7-1/2 and 8 foot widths and lengths to 26 feet. The kit listing states the tarp size it was built for.
Do you sell Buyers tarp motors on their own?
Yes. The 600W 90:1 and 900W 60:1 electric tarp gear motors are listed separately, with the 900W in 1 year and 3 year warranty versions.
