How long are your Truck Rolltarps lasting?

Are your truck tarps made from top quality materials?

Thought we’d share these pics that were sent through from one of our roll tarp clients up in the Pilbara! Great to see our products in action – and what an impressive rig this is!

How many years should my Roll Tarp last?

This can depend on the materials used, the design of the tarp, the quality of the Install, how it is used and the amount of exposure to the sun. Some examples are below….

One of our long-standing customers who runs approx. 70+ grain/bulk haulage trucks, with most running 24hrs a day in a demanding environment, says he usually gets 5yrs out of a Westarp Rolltarp.

Another customer recently replaced his Chaser Bin Roll Tarp which was 15yrs old!! This is parked in a shed when not in use and is only used during harvest and a little at seeding.

Working with Westarp you will find passionate and customer centric team who are committed to excellent service, high quality products and producing the right product competitively and on time.
