"Securing your flatbed load is crucial for safety on the road and to comply with regulations," says Julio Garcia, Manager of Tarp Supply Inc.®. "Using the right tarp and following best practices can make all the difference."

Here are some tips from Tarp Supply Inc.® for using tarps to secure your flatbed load:

1. Choose the Right Tarp: Select a tarp that is large enough to cover your entire load with some overhang on each side. Tarp Supply Inc.® offers a variety of sizes and materials to suit different load types and weather conditions.
2. Use Quality Straps and Tie-Downs: Invest in high-quality straps and tie-downs to secure the tarp to your flatbed. Check the straps regularly for signs of wear and tear, and replace them as needed.
3. Secure the Tarp Properly: Start by securing one end of the tarp to the front of your flatbed using bungee cords or straps. Then, unroll the tarp over your load and secure the other end to the back of the flatbed.
4. Use Corner Protectors: To prevent the tarp from tearing at the corners, use corner protectors. These simple accessories can extend the life of your tarp and help ensure a secure fit.
5. Check for Loose Areas: After securing the tarp, walk around your flatbed to check for any loose areas or flapping edges. Secure these areas with additional straps or bungee cords.
6. Consider Load-Dependent Accessories: Depending on your load, you may need additional accessories such as ratchet straps, edge protectors, or rubber tarp straps to ensure a secure fit.
7. Regularly Inspect and Maintain Your Tarps: Inspect your tarps regularly for signs of damage or wear. Repair or replace damaged tarps promptly to maintain load security and safety.
