Retractable tarping mechanisms quick, safe

摘要

Is there any more difficult job in trucking than throwing a tarpaulin over a big load on a flatbed trailer, especially on a cold, snowy and windy day? A tarp is bulky and, depending on size and material type, weighs 40 to 90 pounds, says Bernie Carpenter, president and owner of Tarpco Inc. in Kent, Ohio. The risk of injuries is high in such work, and slips and falls constitute the single biggest category in worker's compensation claims in the trucking industry, according to insurance sources.
