Heavy-Duty 90:1 Gear Ratio Tarp Motor with 2 Horsepower
Upgrade your tarping system with the robust Motor 90:1 w/2 Horsepower motor, designed specifically for heavy-duty dump trucks and commercial hauling applications. This high-torque electric tarp motor provides the raw pulling power needed to deploy and retract heavy mesh or solid vinyl tarps in seconds, ensuring your load is secured quickly and safely. Built to withstand the harshest environments, this motor is a direct replacement for many standard tarp systems.
Why Choose a 2 Horsepower Tarp Motor?
When dealing with long trailers or heavy-duty tarps, standard motors often struggle, leading to premature failure and slow operation. A 2 horsepower tarp motor delivers significantly more torque, allowing it to easily handle the tension of tight systems or the weight of wet, heavy tarps. The 90:1 gear ratio strikes the perfect balance between speed and power, ensuring smooth, consistent operation every time you flip the switch.
