Rapid Tarp Replacement: Online Ordering Supports Uptime

Tarp systems commonly suffer wear and tear from several factors including the rigorous daily demands of commercial trucking, environmental factors, and unforeseen operational accidents. Equipment damage creates one of the most frustrating challenges drivers and fleet companies face – downtime. In fact, industry consensus confirms that the top concern of fleet managers is keeping fleets operating with minimal downtime. 

In an industry where efficiency is key, ensuring that repairs are handle quickly is a necessary step toward staying on the road and out of the garage. Drivers and fleet managers are relying more and more on technology to address repairs. Web-based support systems and online ordering tools are just several ways to ensure efficiency with your repairs. 

Uptime supported by online ordering

While mechanical repairs can be supported by technical manuals, factory customer support or dealer upfitting services, simple tarp replacement is now faster and easier than ever.  To help solve this challenge, Roll-Rite recently launch Rapid Tarps™.  Rapid Tarps™ is our simple, quick ship replacement tarp program designed to get your operations back on the job. Below are some of the benefits of the program. 

Find the tarp you need – quickly

If you frequently inspect your tarp for damage or early indicators of wear and tear, you might determine that a replacement is necessary. Efficient replacement ensures that you comply with necessary safety and regulatory requirements. 

Reputable tarp manufacturers often include tarp labels with contact info to aid in reordering. At Roll·Rite, we provide a tarp reorder part number for added convenience. Locating the exact tarp you need and placing your order online is much more efficient when this information is readily available.  

If you don't find a tarp reorder number on your tag or your reorder part number isn't stocked on our e-store, you can contact Roll-Rite for availability through your area distributor or service center.

Order from anywhere – even when you’re on the road

There are numerous ways that a truck tarp can become damaged throughout its life. Loading and unloading materials, sharp debris in the bed, wind whip, and improper fitting place your tarp at risk of becoming inoperable. It’s quite possible that you’ll need to order a replacement tarp while you’re on the road. While it’s ideal to visit a nearby service center, you might need to order a replacement tarp immediately. Mobile ordering makes tarp replacement extremely easy. 

Fast delivery for minimal downtime

It’s estimated that downtime costs a fleet an average of $850 to $1,000 a day, per vehicle. These costs can add up quickly which is why you need your replacement tarp delivered fast. We recommend purchasing from a tarp manufacturer that can offer expedited shipping, so you minimize downtime. 

Rapid tarp replacement for your fleet

Tarp repairs are often inevitable. Rips, tears and torn pockets can occur at any moment and the recommended best practice is to use parts directly from the manufacturer. Cutting corners by using inexpensive aftermarket tarps will compromise the tarping system and the lifespan of your tarp.

Consultations and on-site services for tarp and safety solutions are available through Roll-Rite's Safe Fleet Service Centers.
