Maximum Protection with the Houle Industries Retractable Shade
When an excavator loads rock, or heavy demolition waste, onto a trailer, it’s far from a delicate operation. It’s a brutal operation with the body of the transport truck, which can damage the tarpaulin system (the central tube, the arched crosspieces). A retractable tarp system from Houle Industries eliminates all these risks. It clears all obstacles to accommodate the load.
It clears all obstacles for loading
- Houle Industries' fully retractable tarp protects the investment and extends the life of the system.
- With the retractable system, if, due to use, one of the canvas panels requires repair, only the affected part needs to be replaced, without having to dismantle the entire canvas, as is the case with other types of system.
- The canvas can be opened and closed in just 20 seconds.
- Equipped with a disengageable system: Electric or manual operation to deploy or close the cover.
- The Houle system is faster in manual mode. It retracts in 22 turns of the crank, whereas other systems require hundreds of turns.
- Easy to maintain
Hermetic retractable tarp system
The watertight system is designed to protect all types of cargo and prevent volatile or contaminated materials from flying away. The transport of dangerous goods by road is the mode of transport most exposed to bad weather and accidents. The Quebec Ministry of Transportation (MTQ) stresses that the transport of contaminated soil must be carried out in compliance with the Regulation respecting the transport of dangerous goods; the top of the skip must be completely covered – an impermeable tarpaulin is required – to prevent rain or snow from penetrating it, or the contaminant from escaping.
Advantages
- The electric system is disengageable.
- Maintenance free system.
- The front of the system is aerodynamic. Aerodynamics is created with the PVC tarp (vs wick tarp). It is watertight and eliminates the suction that brakes the trailer.
- Provides fuel economy.
- PVC tarp; reducing dust, allowing transport of contaminated soil and salt.
- The extrusions of the cross bows are interchangeable.
- Slider cross bows can be quickly changed without removing any cable.
- The ends of slider cross bows are in uhmw, a material without friction or wear.
- The ends are equipped with a groove so as to prevent the system jam. They are fast and easy to disassemble.
- The system is equipped with anti-lift hooks with wheel to prevent jamming in the sliding of the tarp.
- Panel tarp; possible to repair or replace part of the tarp. Standard panels in stock.
- Robust and reliable system. It is easily and quickly repairable.
