Parvalux designs and builds tarp puller motors and our reliable units power tarp pullers in many countries.

Tarp covers have been a staple addition to dump trucks and trailers for years because their use is mandated by law in many parts of the world. They help contain the vehicle’s load and prevent danger to other drivers. While manual pullers and semi-automated pullers are still commonplace, the introduction of motorized tarp pullers has improved the lives of operators. Good tarp puller motors will reduce the effort required to move the tarpaulin over the load, especially on a large truck. It’s important to get the motor design right because a puller almost always sits in an exposed position. Atop a truck; rain, mud and road debris will almost certainly figure in the daily life of a tarp puller.

Our standard range is customizable in-house with 12/24v DC solutions available. In addition, we can quickly develop a fully customized motor for your application.

We frequently work with our customers’ design engineers and our team is well-versed in the latest SolidWorks 3D CAD software.
