Panel Tarps

New and Improved Panel Tarp OTS from Merlot/Vango

Over The Sides (OTS) Panel Tarps The Panel Tarp's unique design eliminates expensive repair work and downtime. Removable bow ends enable you to replace an individual bow or panel easily without removing the system's cables. The nylon bow ends also act as a lubricant for the cables, helping to eliminate cable fraying. The tarp comes in 36 inch wide panels that fit from bow to bow. The panels are easy to install - just slide them into the bows. If your tarp is damaged, you can replace the damaged section only. You no longer need to remove the entire tarp for repairs or purchase a completely new tarp. Tarp-caused downtime is virtually eliminated. The Merlot/Vango Panel Tarp is right at home on a straight truck, trailer, or any open top unit. Designed to meet state tarp requirements.
The Panel Tarp is available in two models; the original PT-1990 and the new and improved PT-OTS. "OTS" stands for "Over The Sides." The bow end was redesigned allowing the tarp to come over the side of the truck body creating a 100% waterproof system. You choose which model best suits your application

Features of Panel Tarp PT-1990 and OTS

EXTRUDED ALUMINUM BOWS

The bows are super strong, won't rust and will not lose their arch.

BOW ENDS

The nylon bow ends are removable allowing for easy tarp repairs.

TARP PANELS

The tarp panels are made from the highest quality vinyl available. They are easily replaced, keeping downtime to a minimum.

MOTOR

Both models come standard with a powerful direct drive gear motor. The 2.1 horsepower motor will provide you with years of trouble free service. The right angle gear box mates with the shaft of the Panel Tarp eliminating the need for sprockets and chain. The gearbox is lubricated and sealed for life.

The Complete System is Outside the Bed!

The entire system - bows and tarp panels - slides forward and backward along the cables. The back bow is attached to the cables and does the work of pulling or pushing the bows and tarp panels. There are no tracks and the entire system operates outside the bed. The durable aircraft cable flexes if hit by loader.
