The Benefits of The EAGLE Retractable Tarp System
Time Savings
- Reduced tarping time – Drivers can save 1 to 2 hours per day in tarping time
Fuel Savings
- Aerodynamic - Our aerodynamic round cornered headboard saves approximately 5% of fuel costs over our competitor’s square cornered headboards.
- The Eagle system’s tarp does not balloon out behind the headboard.
- Lightweight – 1,800 lbs. on a 48 ft. flat deck
Safety Savings
