Backed by 90 years of UK hydraulic engineering history, Edbro is well represented in this market with the fast-acting hydraulic Rolatarp, which is powered via the hook-lift system.
It is yet another ground-operated hydraulic body sheet which offers high productivity and potentially more trips than a manual cover.
A versatile design, the mechanism can raise the spring-loaded sheet roller from its storage cradle behind the cab and extend it, in under 30 seconds, without the need for a vertical mounting mast and hydraulic cylinder.
The arms, which are mounted on the subframe for maximum stiffness, stow horizontally below container floor level to avoid being damaged when lifting over misaligned containers.
The sheet is lifted and lowered over the load to avoid any damage, and then also retracts using the roller assembly's tension springs.
Rolatarp one-size sheets are suitable for containers of 20 to 50ycl3 capacity and can be retrofitted to any vehicle-mounted hook-lift system.
