“Cover” Up This Winter Season
February 4, 2019
Choosing the right roll tarp system is one of the most important decisions agricultural haulers can make. Whether you’re moving grain, gravel, waste, or other loose materials, the correct tarping system directly impacts safety, operational efficiency, load protection, and long-term equipment performance. At Syntex Industries, we engineer tarp systems designed for heavy-duty use in the agriculture industry—systems that deliver reliable coverage, secure containment, and long-term durability in demanding environments.
Below, we break down everything you need to know about roll tarps, including what they are, how they work, and how to choose the right system for your grain trailers, dump trucks, belly dumps, pup trailers, and other hauling equipment.
A roll tarp system—sometimes called a roll tarp or truck tarp system—is a side-mounted or top-mounted cover that allows operators to easily cover and uncover a trailer bed or grain cart. Built with a roll tube, end caps, and a heavy-duty tarp designed to resist UV rays, snow, and debris, these systems create a secure fit that keeps materials protected from wind, weather, and the elements.
Most roll tarps fall into two categories:
Both systems are engineered to deliver reliable, full coverage—but choosing between them depends on your specific hauling requirements.
Agricultural hauling brings unique challenges. Grain, feed, and other loose materials demand secure containment while still allowing quick loading and unloading. During harvest season, efficiency becomes even more critical.
A high-performance roll tarp system helps operators:
With the right tarp system, your trailers operate more efficiently, safely, and reliably—day after day.
Selecting the right tarp system begins with understanding your load type and trailer configuration. Each hauling operation has specific needs:
