ABSTRACT:
A tarp cover system includes a plurality of bows that extend transversely across an open-topped vehicle-mounted container for supporting a tarp cover, characterized in that the drive system for driving the bows between container-covered and container-uncovered conditions includes at each side of the container an endless cable arrangement including a pair of parallel horizontally-spaced runs that are contained in a common horizontal plane and are arranged on opposite sides of a longitudinally extending support upon which the bows are slidably mounted. Protective flanges extend laterally from the support above the cable runs, thereby to protect the cable runs during loading and unloading of the container. The side edges of the tarp extend horizontally outwardly over the cable runs and downwardly adjacent the external sides of the container, thereby to waterproof and protect the upper side edges of the covered container against the entry of water and dirt.
