Roll Off Truck Tarping Systems – 3 Tips to Saving You Thousands of Dollars
The cost to purchase a Fully Automatic Roll off Tarping System is about 5 times greater than the cost of a Dump Truck Tarping System. The reason for the cost difference is that a roll off tarp system needs to be much more robust due to the extreme abuse they go through in normal operation, and because of the automation involved in adapting to the various height and length containers it must cover. Because of the higher up-front cost of a Fully Automatic Roll off Tarping System, owners and managers of waste companies sometimes choose a lower priced Semi-Automatic Tarping System, or no tarp system at all, but instead a manual hand tarp for their vehicle or fleet.
The purpose if this article is to help you owners and managers of roll off fleets, to make informed decisions about what type of roll off tarping system is best for you and your operation, and to prevent you from going down the wrong path which can be costly in one form or another.
