About Canvas Tarpaulin

  • A canvas tarpaulin or tarp is a huge sheet of flexible, strong, waterproof material.
  • Traditionally tarpaulins were made out of cotton however currently nylon and polyester fibre fabrics are being increasingly used in manufacturing tarpaulins.
  • Canvas tarpaulins are largely used as truck covers.
  • Trucks travel long distances and hence come across huge climatic variations.
  • Given India‘s rough environmental conditions, damage to goods is inevitable if the goods are not adequately shielded.
  • A steel body truck not only increases the weight of the truck but also reduces the fuel efficiency. Thus, truck tarpaulin covers are widely used as truck covers.
  • As the logistics industry is getting more and more organized, the product liability clauses are being enforced on the logistics players leading to increase in usage of truck covers.
  • Moreover, the advent of organized players in retail industry has also given boost to the use of well covered trucks.
