103" SOLID ALUMINUM TARP AXLE

A 103-inch solid aluminum tarp axle is a structural component used in truck or trailer tarp systems to support and rotate the tarp during opening and closing.

Function

• Supports the tarp: Provides a rigid shaft across the width of the trailer or truck body.

• Rotates the tarp: Connects to a crank, motor, or drive mechanism to roll the tarp onto or off the axle.

• Maintains alignment: Its solid construction helps keep the tarp evenly wound across the full 103-inch span.

• Transfers torque: Aluminum provides sufficient strength to transmit rotational force while keeping the axle lighter than a comparable steel shaft.

• Improves durability: Aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor and weather-exposed applications.
