The Main Function and Maintenance Notice Of Tipper Truck Tarpaulin

The shadow of tarpaulin can be seen on many tipper trucks. Tarpaulin, as a kind of high-strength, waterproof material with good toughness and softness, is designed and used mainly to meet the specific environmental and usage requirements. Its main role includes thermal insulation, rain, pollution and dust. The following is the main function and maintenance notice of tarpaulin.

 

 

 

 

1. Main Function Of Tarpaulin

 

a. Rainproof: the tarpaulin can effectively block the rain, protect the goods inside the cargo box from moisture and keep the goods dry.

 

b. Anti-pollution: in the transport process and the windy environment, tarpaulin reduces the pollution of the dust on the goods in the container and keeps the goods clean.

 

c. Anti-fall: When the goods are finished loading, covering tarpaulin can prevent the goods from falling. For example, the Guyana Transport Authority requires all tipper trucks to be covered with tarpaulins when they are finished loading, and they will be fined if the goods fall off and pollute the city roads.

 

 

2. Tarpaulin Maintenance Notice

 

a. Cleaning: Keeping the tarpaulin and chain clean is the first step in maintenance. Remove dirt and debris and make sure there are no impurities that prevent the chain from functioning properly.

 

b. Apply oil: Apply oiling is a key step in maintenance, and you can use chain oil to coat the chain. These oils can effectively reduce the friction of the chain and lower the wear and tear, and also serve as rust prevention and lubrication. If you encounter a situation where the electric tarp won't slide to the bottom after changing the chain, you can apply lubricant to reduce the friction of the chain. If applying lubricant does not work, the chain may need to be reinstalled.

 

c. Drainage system: in the rainy season or frequent use. , keeping the drainage system clear is an important measure to prevent water damage to the motor and control box. Regularly check that the drain is clear to avoid clogging and to ensure that the water flow can be discharged without any problem, so as to avoid the accumulation of water that may lead to damage to the equipment.
