Tarp Systems & Replacement Parts for Refuse Trucks
Complete automated tarp systems and replacement parts for refuse and roll-off trucks. Tarp fabric, arm assemblies, pivots, gantries, hydraulics, and miscellaneous tarping supplies. Compatible with Pioneer Tarp, Donovan, and Mountain Tarp systems.
What this page covers
Tarp systems on refuse and roll-off trucks serve two functions: legal compliance (most states require load coverage during transport) and operational safety (prevents debris escape on the road). The tarp system is a complete subsystem with its own hydraulic actuator, mechanical arms and pivots, tarp fabric, and supporting hardware — and every component is a wear item.
PRT stocks complete replacement tarp systems and individual component parts for the major industry brands. The most-replaced components are tarp fabric (UV degradation, abrasion), arms (fatigue), and pivot bushings (wear).
How to choose
For complete tarp system replacement, identify by truck type (refuse body, roll-off, dump), and original brand. For component replacement, identify the failed part and the tarp system brand.
PRT can quote complete tarp system replacements for trucks that didn't originally have tarp systems — a common upgrade as state laws have tightened load-cover requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What's the most commonly-replaced tarp system part?
Tarp fabric — UV exposure and abrasion against load destroy tarp fabric in 1-3 years depending on use. Arms are the second most common (fatigue failure), and motors third.
Are PRT tarp systems compatible with Pioneer and Roll-Rite installations?
Yes. PRT stocks OEM-equivalent Pioneer Tarp parts and components compatible with Donovan SWAT, and Mountain Tarp systems.
Can I install a tarp system on a truck that didn't originally have one?
Yes. PRT supplies complete new-installation tarp system kits. Installation is typically 1-2 days for a qualified shop. We can recommend the right system based on truck type.
How long does a refuse truck tarp last?
1-3 years for the fabric depending on use intensity and UV exposure. Mechanical components (arms, springs, motors) typically last 5-10 years before major replacement.
