Common types of Flatbed Trailer Tarps
Lumber Tarps
Lumber Tarps are heavy-duty truck tarps designed to cover and protect lumber, wood, and other large loads transported on flatbed trailers. These tarps prevent damage caused by weather conditions such as rain, snow, wind, and UV exposure. They are typically made from high-strength 18 oz vinyl-coated polyester material to ensure durability and resistance to tearing, abrasion, and punctures.
Key Features of Lumber Tarps:
- Heavy-Duty Vinyl Material–Waterproof,UV-resistant,and durable to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
- Reinforced Seams & Edges–Heat-sealed or double-stitched seams to prevent tearing and fraying.
- Multiple D-Rings & Grommet–Strategically placed every 24 inches for secure tie-down and easy fastening.
- Drop Flaps for Full Coverage–End flaps (commonly 4’ or 8’ drops) provide complete protection for taller or oversized loads.
- Abrasion and Mold Resistant–Designed to resist mildew, mold, and abrasions to extend lifespan.
Common Sizes of Lumber Tarps:
- 16’ x 27’ with 4’ drop
- 20’ x 27’ with 6’ drop
- 24’ x 27’ with 8’ drop
- Custom sizes are also available to fit specific load dimensions.
Applications of Lumber Tarps:
- Protecting lumber,plywood,and wood panels during transportation.
- Covering other tall,irregularly-shaped loads like construction materials.
- Suitable for use in construction,manufacturing,and logistics industries.
Steel Tarps
Steel Tarps are heavy-duty flatbed truck tarps specifically designed to protect steel and other heavy loads during transportation. These tarps are made from durable 18 oz vinyl-coated polyester material that offers superior resistance to water, UV rays, and abrasions. Unlike lumber tarps,steel tarps do not typically have end flaps,making them ideal for covering lower-profile loads such as steel sheets, rods, coils, and pipes.
✅ Key Features of Steel Tarps:
- Heavy-Duty Vinyl Construction- Made from 18 oz vinyl-coated polyester for maximum durability.
- Waterproof & UV-Resistant–Provides excellent protection against rain, snow, and sun exposure.
- Reinforced Seams & Edges–Heat-sealed or double-stitched seams prevent fraying and tearing.
- Multiple D-Rings & Grommets–Placed at 24-inch intervals for secure tie-down and load stability.
- Abrasion and Puncture Resistance–Designed to withstand rough handling and contact with sharp-edged cargo.
Common Sizes of Steel Tarps:
- 16’ x 27’
- 20’ x 27’
- 24’ x 27’
- Custom sizes are available to fit specific load dimensions.
Applications of Steel Tarps:
- Protecting steel sheets,rods,and coils during transport.
- Covering machinery, pipes,and other industrial materials.
- Suitable for use in manufacturing,construction,and logistics industries.
Coil Tarps
Coil Tarps,also known as coil bags or coil covers,are specialized flatbed tarps designed to protect steel coils, wire reels, and other cylindrical loads during transportation. Made from durable 18 oz vinyl-coated polyester,these tarps provide superior resistance to water,UV rays,and abrasions,ensuring that delicate metal surfaces remain protected from rust,moisture,and dirt.
Key Features of Coil Tarps:
- Heavy-Duty Vinyl Material–Constructed from 18 oz vinyl-coated polyester for strength and durability.
- Waterproof & UV-Resistant–Prevents rust and corrosion by shielding metal coils from rain and sun exposure.
- Form-Fitting Design–Cylindrical shape designed to snugly wrap around coils for maximum coverage.
- Reinforced Seams & Edges–Heat-sealed seams and reinforced edges prevent tearing and fraying.
- D-Rings & Grommets for Securement–Strategically placed D-rings and grommets ensure a tight and secure fit.
- Abrasion & Puncture Resistance–Protects the surface of coils from scratches and dents during transport.
Common Sizes of Coil Tarps:
- 6’ x 6’ x 6’
- 6’ x 6’ x 10’
- 7’ x 7’ x 7’
- Custom sizes available to meet specific load dimensions.
Applications of Coil Tarps:
- Protecting steel coils,wire rolls,and aluminum spools during transportation.
- Covering cylindrical cargo that requires full protection from moisture and debris.
- Ideal for industries such as steel manufacturing,logistics,and metal processing.
Smoke Tarps
Smoke Tarps,also known as nose tarps or front tarps,are specialized flatbed tarps used to protect the front section of a load from smoke,soot,road grime,and debris during transportation. They are typically placed at the front of flatbed trailers to prevent exhaust fumes,dirt,and other airborne particles from damaging or contaminating sensitive cargo,such as lumber,steel,or machinery.
Key Features of Smoke Tarps:
- Heavy-Duty Vinyl Material – Made from 14 oz or 18 oz vinyl-coated polyester for durability and resistance to tears and abrasions.
- Waterproof & UV-Resistant – Provides complete protection against moisture, rain, and harmful UV rays.
- Compact & Lightweight Design – Easier to handle and install compared to full-size flatbed tarps.
- D-Rings & Grommets for Securement – Equipped with rust-resistant D-rings and reinforced grommets for easy tie-down.
- Reinforced Edges & Seams – Heat-sealed seams ensure extra strength and prevent fraying.
Common Sizes of Smoke Tarps:
- 10’ x 12’
- 10’ x 16’
- 12’ x 16’
- Custom sizes available to fit specific load requirements.
Applications of Smoke Tarps:
- Protecting the front of loads such as lumber,steel,or machinery.
