Safer, Faster, More Efficient Coverage
Benefits of an Automatic Tarping Machine for Large-Scale Projects
Save Time and Reduce Labor
The Tarpomatic automates tarp deployment and retrieval, helping crews work more efficiently. Hydraulic controls and a remote reduce manual handling and labor requirements.
Improve Safety on the Jobsite
Operators can manage tarp operations from the cab, reducing exposure to terrain, debris, weather, dust, odors, and other site hazards while minimizing physical strain.
Increase Control and Productivity
The Tarpomatic provides reliable tarp placement and retrieval across large areas, improving productivity and coverage consistency.
Extend Tarp Life and Reduce Equipment Wear
Controlled deployment and retrieval reduce tarp dragging and handling, helping extend equipment life and lower replacement costs.

Keep Your Tarpomatic System Working with the Right Tarps and Service
Tuff Tarp Covers with Patented Cable Keeper Technology
Tarpomatic uses specialized Tuff Tarps made from high-density woven, coated, flame-resistant polyethylene fabric. These durable tarps are designed for demanding field conditions and can be produced in common widths of 20, 30, 40, and 50 feet, with custom lengths available.
Each tarp is weighted with chain in the side pockets for ballast, while wire rope is sewn into each end and crossing pocket. The patented Cable Keeper system locks the crossing cables into the outside pocket, helping the tarp maintain the desired width during deployment and retrieval.
Automatic Tarping Machine with Optional Deodorizing System
For sites where odor control is a concern, the Tarpomatic can be equipped with an optional deodorizing system. This system includes a mounted spray tank and durable nozzles positioned along the arms of the machine to provide full-width spray coverage.
The deodorizer can be activated on demand from the cab of the equipment, giving the operator additional control while covering or uncovering the project area. A variety of scents can be used depending on the needs of your operation.
