FAQs

DO I HAVE TO BRING THE TRUCK TO YOU FOR FITTING OR TO CHECK MEASURE?

Nope! Unlike our competitor's we will come to you to check measure and install your tarp, anywhere in Australia! This saves you a fortune in driver's costs and fuel. 

HOW DO WE KEEP OUR DRIVER'S OUT OF HARM'S WAY TARPING OUR TRUCKS?

All of our systems have been designed with OH&S regulations in mind. Our manual tarping systems are operated from the ground through a winch handle normally fitted to the bin behind the driver's side of the cab. Our system has a one point adjustment for cable tension at the winch at ground level, meaning no climbing onto the truck to adjust the cable. For quarries and other work sites that do not allow driver's out of the vehicle, the electric system is operated from the cab via a switch.


HOW EASILY CAN I GET SPARE PARTS?

Parts are stocked at our various warehouses across the country and can normally be shipped the same day.


HOW MUCH SPACE DOES THE SYSTEM TAKE UP ON THE BIN WHEN OPENED?

A PVC system will take up approximately 6.5cm for every metre of tarp. So if the tarp is 6 metres long it will take up approximately 40cm when open. Mesh tarps will take up slightly less.


I DON'T WANT ANY BOWS IN MY TARP. DO YOU HAVE A SYSTEM LIKE THIS?

For proper support and life expectancy, a tarp system needs a bow system; anyone who tells you something different is trying to sell you a throw over tarp. Throw over tarps do not satisfy OH&S regulations and are potentially dangerous to driver's attempting to tarp a truck at height.


DOES THE TARP COLOUR FADE?

All fabrics will begin to fade over time. Everlast Tarps has the highest quality PVC and mesh products available on the market to ensure the tarp does not fade prematurely.
