EL, CAJON, CA - The Pulltarps Ultimate 5 Spring aluminum automatic arm kits are a new line of arm tarping systems. The Ultimate 5 Spring pivots are cast aluminum that fully enclose the five springs to protect them from the elements. This pivot design is lighter, stronger and incorporates five springs for greater power. The arm tubes are extruded aluminum and all of the aluminum parts of this kit are Brite-Dipped for a great polished aluminum look. The Super Sleek 5 Spring arm kits are powerful enough for applications up to 25 feet long.
Pulltarps Manufacturing announces an all new line of automatic arm tarping systems for dump trucks and trailers. The Ultimate 5 Spring aluminum automatic arm kits feature new streamlined 5 spring pivots that have an aluminum two piece enclosure to protect the springs. The 5 springs inside each pivot provide more closing power than conventional 4 spring designs. The pivot assemblies rotate on dual bearings for long life and smooth operation. The arm tubes are new too and made of extruded aluminum to save weight and add strength. The Ultimate 5 Spring aluminum automatic arm kits are Brite-Dipped for a great polished aluminum look that never dulls. This durable finish keeps the bright shine longer than polishing and does not require regular maintenance.
Included in every kit is an extruded aluminum pull bar especially designed with a groove for the hem tube on the tarp that prevents the tarp from bunching at the corners and strengthens the pull bar for added durability. This extends the life of the tarp and makes it easy to convert existing Pulltarps pull out type systems to fully automatic electric arm systems.
Urethane bumpers that slide on to the pull bar are provided to keep the tarp centered and provide better coverage of the load.
