ABSTRACT:
A tarp system for a flatbed trailer is disclosed including front end, intermediate and rear end bow members that are all slidably moveable relative to the flat bed to permit the front and/or rear loading thereof, a cam device serving to displace the front and rear end bow members apart, thereby to tension the tarp cover carried by the bow members. A bump rail extends laterally outwardly from each flatbed side wall beyond an associated guide rail upon which are supported a plurality of carriages that carry the tarp supporting bows, thereby to improve the sealing of the lower side edges of the tarp cover and to protect the guide rails and the carriage from objects below.
