The Donovan Sidewinder™ Automatic Side-FlipTarp System has modular and interchangeable components that fit on either side of a trailer. Available in both electric or hydraulic, this system is fully automatic, covering and uncovering in under 20 seconds and keeping the operator safely on the ground.

Years of experience and thousands of units sold mean The Sidewinder™ has been thoroughly field-tested based on extensive customer feedback. It’s an extremely affordable system, paying for itself in a few months and noted for low maintenance costs. It fits all front wall styles and the lid rests flush against the trailer – ideal for operating in narrow transfer stations. The system is engineered to flex during loading and unloading, without troublesome continuous drive shafts. The superior 3-arm design (one forward, one rear and one over trailer center brace) allows the tarp to properly conform to peaked areas in the load and still close down on all sides.

Although parts and hinge mount hardware are universal, order driver-side or passenger-side for proper head mount. Approximate installation time 16-18 hours.

Sidewinder™ 350 Model Info:

The Donovan Sidewinder™ 350 provides the same durability and function as the Sidewinder™ while its aluminum construction reduces trailer weight. Aluminum I-beam construction provides unsurpassed strength without unnecessary weight while twin cable design eliminates support ladders and bars. The Sidewinder™ 350 fits all front wall styles and rests flush against trailers, flexing during loading and unloading to accommodate stresses. The unique light-weight two-arm design (one forward and one rear) lets the tarp conform to heaped loads and still seal on all sides, avoiding loaders and areas where loads are typically highest.

Head assembly comes preassembled – no welding is needed! Kits contain hardware only.
