Sliding Bow

The SBS rolling tarp system allows any conventional flatbed trailer to be converted into a van style unit and back to a flatbed in minutes. The system works by rolling the fabric tarp on a track that is attached to the side of the trailer, hence the name "rolling tarp system." The conversion process takes as little as a few minutes to perform, from start to finish, as opposed to the several hours it would take a driver to cover a load using standard tarping methods.
