About Us

PowerTarps’ goal is to alleviate injuries in transport and agriculture by introducing safe practices using our retractable tarping systems, either manual or electric. Our systems actively reduce the need for the operator to climb up on the truck, trailer or bunker, a practice that puts the operator at risk.

With the introduction of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA), there is a real need for the use of retractable tarps and bunker covers. A guiding principle of HSWA is that workers and others need to be given the highest level of protection from workplace health and safety risks, as is reasonable. HSWA shifts the focus from monitoring and recording health and safety incidents to proactively identifying and managing risks so everyone is safe and healthy.

At PowerTarps we are passionate about this product and the reduction of risk it brings. We believe it surpasses all other products that are currently available on the market. Safety is primary, productivity is secondary, our main goal is to alleviate operator injury and fatigue.
