What is a pivot arm tarp system?
A pivot arm system uses a lower pivot arm and telescopic upper tarp bow — made from high-strength extruded aluminium — to swing a tarp across the load from a side-mounted motor. The TarpMaster motor drives the whole system, pivoting the arms from open to closed in seconds. Common on dump trucks, tipper trailers, and hook lift bins.
Compatibility
Designed specifically for Roll‑Rite pivot arm tarp systems (TarpMaster series). Works with Roll‑Rite® and Super Duty® drivetrains compatible with 900 W / 60:1 output. If you're replacing an existing TarpMaster motor this is a direct swap.
