Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Lonsun Tex trailer tarpaulin suitable for heavy-duty transport?
Our material is engineered with a high-strength 1000D polyester base and optimized weave structure, providing superior tensile and tear resistance. It is designed to withstand high-speed wind pressure and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring reliable protection for commercial long-haul transport.
Is your PVC trailer cover fabric flame-retardant and UV-stable?
Yes. Our industrial-grade PVC fabrics are treated for long-term UV stability (2000+ hours) and offer optional flame-retardant properties meeting DIN 75200 standards, ensuring safety and durability in both extreme cold (-30°C) and hot weather.
Can Lonsun Tex provide custom branding and printing on trailer covers?
Absolutely. We specialize in high-definition solvent and UV printing compatible fabrics. Our surface treatment ensures vibrant, long-lasting graphic output, perfect for professional vehicle branding and commercial logistics fleets.
Should I put a tarp over my trailer?
Yes. Using a high-quality heavy-duty tarpaulin is essential to protect your cargo from rain, wind, moisture, and road debris during transit. It also prevents items from shifting or blowing out, ensuring safe and compliant commercial or personal hauling.
How to properly tarp a trailer?
To secure a cover properly, first center the material evenly over your cargo. Use reinforced eyelets, heavy-duty bungee cords, or straps to anchor the cover tightly to the trailer’s tie-down points, ensuring no loose sections catch high-speed wind.
What size tarp for trailer?
The correct size depends on your trailer’s dimensions (length, width, and side wall height). Always measure the maximum cargo profile and add extra allowance for draping down the sides and securing over the frame before ordering a custom or standard cover.
What is a tarpaulin on a semi trailer?
A semi-trailer tarpaulin is a large, heavy-duty industrial PVC cover designed for long-haul articulated trucks and flatbed or box trailers. It provides robust, weatherproof, and aerodynamic protection for massive commercial freight.
