Benefits of Steel Tarps
Steel Tarps offer comprehensive protection,durability,and safety benefits that make them essential for transporting and storing steel and other heavy materials, ultimately helping to preserve the condition of the load and enhance the efficiency and security of the transportation process.
Protection from Weather Conditions
- Rain and Moisture: Steel tarps prevent water from coming into contact with the steel, which helps avoid rust and corrosion. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the steel during transport and storage.
- Sun Exposure: The UV-resistant properties of steel tarps protect the steel from sun damage, such as discoloration or degradation of the material’s surface.
- Snow and Ice: Steel tarps also shield the load from snow and ice buildup, which can add significant weight and cause safety issues during transport.
- Cold Crack:-40°C
Durability
- Heavy-duty Construction: Made from strong,abrasion-resistant materials PVC-vinyl coated polyester fabric, steel tarps are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of heavy-duty use.
- Reinforced Design: With additional features like grommets, webbing, and straps, these tarps are built to handle the strain of securing large, heavy steel loads without tearing or wearing down easily.
Prevention of Surface Damage
- Scratch and Dent Prevention: By covering steel materials, the tarp helps prevent scratches, dents, or other surface damage that can occur during handling or transport. This is especially important for maintaining the quality and appearance of steel products.
- Rust Prevention: By keeping moisture away from the steel, steel tarps help prevent the formation of rust, which could compromise the material’s strength and longevity.
Secure Transport
- Easy Securing: Steel tarps come with grommets or D-rings that allow for easy fastening with straps or ropes, ensuring the tarp stays in place during transit. This helps keep the load secure and stable, reducing the risk of shifting or falling off the vehicle.
- Custom Fit: Steel tarps are often made to measure, ensuring a snug fit for the load, which adds an extra layer of security during transport.
Cost Efficiency
- Reduced Risk of Damage: By protecting steel from the elements and physical damage, steel tarps help reduce the risk of costly repairs or replacements due to rust, corrosion, or surface blemishes.
- Extend Product Life: By keeping steel products in better condition, steel tarps can help extend the lifespan of the material, making them a worthwhile investment.
Easy to Use
- Lightweight and Flexible: Despite their strength, steel tarps are typically designed to be flexible and lightweight enough for easy handling and installation, making them efficient for workers to use when securing loads.
- Reusability: Steel tarps can be reused multiple times, which provides added value and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
Key Features of Flatbed Steel Tarps
Steel Tarps are heavy-duty protective covers used primarily to shield steel loads during transportation and storage. They are designed to cover flatbed trailers, protecting the steel materials—such as steel beams, coils, or sheets—from environmental factors like rain, dirt, and UV exposure.
Material
Steel Tarps are usually made from high-strength,weather-resistant fabrics like PVC-coated polyester or vinyl or rip stop fabric, offering superior durability and resistance to tearing or abrasion.
Size and Coverage
Flatbed Steel Tarps are typically custom-made to fit various sizes of flatbed trucks or trailers. The tarp often covers the entire length and width of the load to ensure complete protection.
Reinforcement
They are often reinforced with webbing, grommets, and straps at key stress points to prevent wear and tear, making them capable of handling heavy steel sheets, pipes, or beams.
Security Features
The steel truck tarps come with grommets or D-rings along the edges for secure fastening, ensuring the tarp stays in place during transit.
Cold Crack
-40°C
UV Protection
They usually feature UV-resistant coatings to prevent the tarp material from degrading under prolonged sun exposure.
