ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus and method for covering truck beds, rail cars, or other large objects with a tarp or related covering in which the tarp is held to the truck tarp loader by a fastening roller member comprised of: a vertical support member with first and second ends; a first horizontal member fixedly secured to the first end, forming an L shape; a second horizontal member fixedly secured to the second end, also forming an L shape; an axle, a pair of wheels, and a handle pivotally attached to the first horizontal member; a pair of tensioners between the vertical support member and the axle; and a fastening mechanism on the second horizontal member for attaching the fastening roller member to the truck tarp loader apparatus. The tensioners, axle, pair of wheels, and handle form a cover grasping mechanism that holds the tarp or covering secure enough to support the weight of the tarp or covering, but allows an operator to slide the tarp or covering out from under the fastening roller member without having to disengage the cover grasping mechanism.
