Summary

COI synopsis: Covering loose lorry loads with tarpaulins is vital to meet legal or safety regulations. Getting the tarpaulins up, however, often means treading the light fantastic over the back of dangerously slipping loads. A new sheeting device glides over the lorry automatically, in seconds, and locks rigidly into place.
