Collection: Asphalt Tarps

What asphalt size tarp do I need? 

You should use the following formulas when determining the tarp size for your truck:

Tarp width: Take the width of the tarp axle/roller and subtract 4 inches.

Tarp length: Take the length of your truck body and add 2 feet. The additional length allows the tarp to cover a heaped load. 

Which asphalt tarp material do I need?

The type of tarp material you need comes down to your application use as well as your budget. There are several tarp materials to choose from for asphalt hauling purposes.

Vinyl: Vinyl is a synthetic material widely used in the manufacturing of tarps due to its durability and flexibility. Vinyl tarps are inherently strong and resistant to tearing, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications such as asphalt hauling. They offer excellent protection against moisture and UV rays, ensuring long-lasting performance in outdoor environments. Customers might opt for vinyl tarps when seeking a balance between affordability and durability, especially for standard asphalt hauling tasks.

RFL (Resorcinol Formaldehyde Latex) Coated Canvas: RFL-coated canvas tarps offer a robust solution for asphalt hauling, combining the durability of canvas with the reinforced strength provided by the RFL coating. This unique blend ensures exceptional resistance to abrasions, tears, and punctures, ideal for demanding applications. With inherent flexibility, RFL-coated canvas conforms securely to loads while allowing for breathability, preventing moisture buildup and maintaining asphalt integrity. Its temperature resistance ensures reliable performance even in high-heat environments, making it a preferred choice for customers seeking durability, flexibility, and breathability in a single solution for asphalt tarp usage.

Lumite: Lumite represents a premium option for asphalt tarp usage, leveraging advanced materials and technology to deliver exceptional performance. Lumite tarps typically incorporate specialized additives or layers designed to enhance specific properties, such as heat retention or UV resistance. In the context of asphalt hauling, lumite tarps excel in maintaining optimal asphalt temperatures during transportation, thereby preserving its workability and ensuring superior paving results. Customers who prioritize temperature control and premium quality may choose lumite tarps for their asphalt hauling needs, especially in scenarios where precise asphalt temperature management is critical.
