ABSTRACT:
A method of providing secure attachment points for a rollable tarpaulin cover used in open top trailers is provided. This is accomplished by the use of cleats attached to the leading edge of a tarpaulin roll tube or shaft. These cleats engage a gear cog mounted to the side of the trailer when the tarpaulin is fully deployed. This arrangement provides additional points at which the tarpaulin can be secured to the trailer to provide a tight seal over the top of the trailer.
