Product Description
DBR Roll-Off Waste Tarp System for 12–26 ft Containers
The DBR (Donovan Belt and Ratchet) roll-off waste tarp system is a manually operated side-roll cover system for compatible roll-off containers up to 26 ft long and approximately 96 in wide. Each listed configuration includes an 18 oz black vinyl tarp with integrated front and rear flaps, heavy-duty straps and ratchets, and removable bows. The tarp remains with the container rather than the truck, helping operators cover an open-top container whether it is on site or in transit.
This system is selected by container length, not by truck model. Measure the actual container before ordering and move up to the next listed length when the measurement falls between sizes. For example, a 277 in container is 23 ft 1 in long, so the 24 ft kit is the applicable listed size. Verify width, mounting surfaces, container condition, lid or rail interference, and all clearance-sensitive equipment before purchase or installation.

Shur-Co identifies Belt ’N Ratchet systems as using ratchet hold-downs, a standard crank arm, standard or Easy-Off tarp stops, and an 18 oz vinyl tarp. The manufacturer lists kit part numbers 1127027 through 1127034 for roll-off containers up to 26 ft. The current DeBrovys variants correspond to that verified part-number range.
Choose the Correct Container-Length Kit
Use the Choose a Box Length dropdown to select the exact container-length range. The existing live variants, SKUs, belt count, material, and prices are shown below. All listed configurations use 18 oz black vinyl with front and rear flaps. Black is the standard color. If you require another color, contact DeBrovys before ordering; non-black color availability and price are not automatically represented by these standard variants.

Prices and availability are shown from the current live variants and may change. The dropdown selection is part of the order specification: do not select a shorter kit simply because a container is close to that size. Measure the usable container length and follow the sizing guidance before finalizing the purchase.
Why a Side-Roll DBR Cover System
A side-roll container cover system lets the tarp stay assigned to the container. That can simplify the daily workflow for roll-off operations that stage, exchange, or transport containers across multiple sites. The DBR design uses removable bows to support the tarp while allowing bows to be removed during loading when the job requires it. The manually operated crank-and-ratchet system also allows the operator to open or close the cover from ground level when the installation is correctly completed.
The value of a container-mounted cover is not merely its ability to close. A properly fitted tarp system can help manage rain, snow, windblown debris, and unauthorized dumping. It should be incorporated into the operation’s documented container-covering and site-safety procedures. Local tarp, transportation, stormwater, workplace, and landfill requirements vary, so confirm the requirements that apply to your equipment, location, and material stream.
18 oz Vinyl Tarp, Flaps, and Hardware
The standard DBR roll-off container configuration uses 18 oz black vinyl with integrated front and rear flaps. Vinyl provides an opaque cover surface for typical container applications, while the front and rear flaps help address open ends when the tarp is closed. Heavy-duty 2 in straps and ratchet hold-downs tension the tarp system; their condition matters as much as the tarp condition. Inspect the straps, ratchets, bow pockets, tarp stops, crank, and all mounting hardware as part of the regular container service routine.
Easy-Off tarp stops are designed to be impact- and abrasion-resistant while retaining flexibility through temperature and moisture changes. The correct tarp-stop style, mounting arrangement, and offset must be evaluated against the actual container and operating environment. Do not drill, weld, or relocate mounting hardware until the installer has confirmed the system layout and clearance.
Fitment Checklist Before Ordering
Record the information below for every container class you plan to cover. A DBR kit should be sized around the container that will receive the system, not a rough estimate of the fleet’s average container.
| Confirm before ordering | Reason |
|---|---|
| Actual outside container length | Determines the applicable 12–26 ft kit and prevents an undersized selection. |
| Actual container width | The system is intended for approximately 96 in wide roll-off containers; confirm non-standard widths. |
| Container condition | Mounting surfaces, rails, sidewalls, and bow locations must be structurally suitable and free of damage that affects fitment. |
| Loading method and clearance | Confirm that bows, tarp stops, crank path, and tarp travel will not interfere with loading equipment or site features. |
| Cover material requirement | Confirm whether standard black 18 oz vinyl is appropriate and request a quote for non-standard colors or materials. |
| Operating rules | Document who opens and closes the system, what inspections are required, and when damaged components are removed from service. |
Installation, Use, and Maintenance Guidance
Qualified installers should follow the applicable manufacturer instructions and confirm the finished layout before the system is placed in service. The product page’s prior installation link should be treated as reference material, not a substitute for reviewing current installation instructions for the selected SKU. Verify all mounting locations, hardware torque, tarp-stop position, strap alignment, bow travel, and crank operation during a controlled initial cycle.
For day-to-day use, keep employees clear of the tarp, ratchet, bow, and crank path. Do not operate a damaged system or force a tarp that is frozen, obstructed, torn, or improperly tracked. Inspect the tarp for punctures and seam damage, check straps for fraying, make sure ratchets engage securely, and inspect tarp stops and bows after container loading. Prompt repairs can prevent a small component issue from becoming a container-cover failure.
