ABSTRACT:
Cargo is covered by use of a tarp and a frame that extends over the tarp. A number of cords are connected to the tarp and a plurality of couplers interconnect the cords to the frame. The couplers releasably connect the tarp to the frame so that the tarp can be dropped onto the cargo once the frame is moved into a position over the cargo by, for example, a forklift. Preferably, the cords include free terminal end sections that can be pulled from ground level to disconnect the cords from the frame when desired, so that walking across the cargo can be avoided.
