Cable Tarp System

These cable tarp system parts fit truck & trailer cable tarp systems that use side cables to pull and guide a tarp over your load. Because a cable tarp system uses cables, bows, and drive hardware to open and close the cover, the right parts depend on your system model and your truck or trailer application.

Before you order, identify your system model and body type to reduce mismatched orders and to narrow down the right dump truck tarp system parts for your setup.

Cable Tarp System Parts

You can replace individual cable tarp system parts instead of changing the full assembly. For a closer breakdown of how the system works, see Understanding the Components of a Tarp System.

tarp for torn fabric, stretched material, or worn tarp pockets
tarp cable for frayed, kinked, or uneven cable runs
bows for bent or damaged support pieces that affect travel
rear bow caps for cracked or missing end protection
chain-driven crank hardware for manual operation repairs
electric drive system options for powered operation or upgrades
flap hardware for arms, springs, hinges, and mounting pieces
other replacement wear parts, including cable guides, bearings, fasteners, tarp stops, Front Cable Spool, and Rear Cable Spool

Common replacement triggers include frayed cable, worn tarp pockets, sticking crank hardware, or damaged rear hardware. Some tarp replacement parts are OEM and system-specific, while others are more broadly compatible, so you should confirm dimensions, mounting style, and model before you buy.

Cable Tarp System Models and Compatibility

Model, body length, mounting points, and application all affect fitment. If you run a dump body, end dump, belly dump, roll-off, grain truck, or trailer, your cable spacing, bow layout, drive option, and rear hardware can change the parts you need for a dump truck cable tarp system or other setup.

Not all cable tarp system parts are the same across brands or models. Even when two systems look similar, cable length, spool design, bow size, and mounting hardware can differ from one truck or trailer to the next.

Cable tarp systems can sometimes be upgraded with an electric drive system or flap automation, but your current frame, wiring access, and hardware layout determine what will fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Know Which Cable Tarp System Parts I Need?

Start with your system model, body type, and measurements. You should also check the failure point, such as frayed cable, worn tarp pockets, sticking crank hardware, or damaged rear hardware.

Are Cable Tarp System Parts the Same Across All Dump Trucks?

No. Dump truck tarp system parts can vary by brand, model, body size, cable length, bow setup, and mounting hardware.

Can Cable Tarp Systems Be Upgraded With Electric Drive or Flap Automation?

Many can, but you’ll need to confirm that your current system supports the motor, wiring, switches, and flap hardware required for the upgrade.

What’s the Difference Between a Cable Tarp System and a Roll Tarp System?

A cable tarp system uses side cables to guide the tarp over the load, while a roll tarp system rolls the tarp on a tube or arm-based assembly. The parts, fitment, and operating hardware are different between the two designs.
