Product Description
Single-Stage Gantry with 4-Spring Steel Arms and Wireless Remote
The Single Stage Gantry with 4-Spring Steel Arm Kit and Wireless Remote, SKU 20-15100-ST4-WL, is a complete Shur-Co gantry-system configuration for compatible roll-off hook-truck and heavy-duty trailer applications. It combines the single-stage gantry format with a four-spring steel arm kit and wireless remote so an operator can deploy and retract a correctly fitted tarp system with controlled, equipment-specific operation.
This is not a universal bolt-on purchase. A gantry system must be matched to the actual truck, body, container range, mounting structure, tarp path, electrical arrangement, and clearance-sensitive equipment. Before ordering, verify the truck and body type, common container lengths and heights, cab-to-hoist clearance, arm travel, tarp configuration, and installed or planned electrical controls. A correct fitment review prevents an otherwise capable system from being specified for the wrong working envelope.

Shur-Co’s gantry ordering form identifies the single-stage family with a 52-inch frame height and 96-inch overall reach. It also lists the four-spring external-mount option for applications up to 24 feet. Those references guide product selection, but they do not replace a measurement-based fitment check on the actual truck and containers. Confirm every clearance, mounting condition, and required component before a purchase or installation is scheduled.
Why Choose a Single-Stage Gantry System
Shur-Co describes its roll-off gantry systems as configurable tarp solutions for a range of trucks, containers, and hauling conditions. The single-stage family is an electric, height-adjustable gantry option for Class 4–6 roll-off hook-truck and heavy-duty trailer applications, with a listed maximum height of 7 feet. It is intended for hauling environments such as construction, demolition, recycling, refuse, and wood-chip service when the equipment measurements suit a single-stage operating envelope.
The correct reason to choose a single-stage gantry is not simply that it is shorter than a two-stage design. It is to create a repeatable tarp path, preserve clearance around the truck and container, and provide controlled load coverage without forcing the arm system or tarp into an unsuitable travel path. The right system starts with real measurements and operating conditions: container swaps, mixed loads, rear hardware, cab guards, toolboxes, lights, exhaust, and jobsite obstructions all matter.
Four-Spring Steel Arm Kit
This listing is specifically configured with a four-spring steel arm kit. The arm kit is part of the gantry system’s working geometry, not an accessory to select casually after the gantry is installed. Arm material, spring style, mounting arrangement, tarp size, container length, and the required operating force must work together. Do not substitute an arm or spring arrangement without confirming compatibility with the complete system.
Steel arms are appropriate when the application calls for the strength and configuration of this listed package. Shur-Co’s ordering reference separately identifies a four-spring external-mount configuration for applications up to 24 feet. Use that figure as an ordering reference only; confirm the actual arm kit, container range, tarp dimensions, and hardware with DeBrovys before ordering. A container that appears similar can still have different top-rail geometry, rear hardware, or clearance restrictions that change the correct specification.
Wireless Remote and Control Options
This product listing includes a wireless remote. Shur-Co’s single- and dual-stage gantry operational guide explains that the system may be operated with the control box or an optional wireless remote; the remote-equipped configuration here supports a workflow in which an operator can control the system while maintaining a safe, clear view of the tarp path. Wireless control does not eliminate the need to confirm the selected function, observe moving components, or keep all personnel clear.
Before first use, verify the remote, control wiring, master controls, tarp controls, gantry controls, and any work-light controls are functioning as intended for the installed system. The operator should have a clear view of the arms, tarp, container, and surrounding work area. Stop operation immediately if an arm binds, a tarp tracks unevenly, a spring or pivot behaves unexpectedly, or an obstruction enters the movement path.
Deploying the Tarp on a Loaded, Secured Container
Shur-Co directs operators to deploy the tarp only after the container has been loaded and secured. The operational sequence uses the system controls to move the arms clear of the housing, extend the gantry, move the arms toward the rear of the container until the cross tube is positioned, retract the gantry, and make a final tarp adjustment as needed. The exact control sequence and control labels are shown in the manufacturer’s operational guide and must be followed for the installed equipment.
Keep the path of the tarp arms clear of individuals and obstructions at all times. Use work lights when conditions require them. When the manufacturer’s guidance and fleet procedure call for bungees or straps—such as in inclement conditions—apply them only after the system is positioned and with moving equipment stopped. Never use the system as a substitute for securing a load or for evaluating whether the container is safely loaded.
Retracting the Tarp Before Unloading
Retract the tarp before unloading the container. If bungees or straps are used, remove them before operating the system. The manufacturer’s operational guide uses a controlled sequence: extend the gantry, bring the tarp arms in toward the housing, retract the gantry, and complete the final tarp retraction. This staged movement helps maintain the intended arm and tarp path rather than forcing components through a restricted clearance.
Do not rush the retraction sequence to save a few seconds. Observe the arms, cross tube, tarp, springs, and container throughout operation. Stop and inspect if there is rubbing, a sudden change in tension, unusual noise, or contact with truck, container, or jobsite equipment. A short operating pause is preferable to damaging an arm, tarp, mounting structure, or surrounding equipment.
Fitment Checklist Before Ordering
| Confirm before ordering | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Truck and body configuration | Roll-off hook trucks and heavy-duty trailers can have different mounting structures, cab clearances, and working conditions. |
| Container height and length range | Measure the containers routinely used, not only a single container in the fleet. |
| Cab-to-hoist clearance | Shur-Co’s ordering form calls for a minimum 10-inch clearance between the cab and container hoist system. |
| Mounting structure and access | The finished system requires sound, accessible mounting locations suitable for the intended gantry assembly. |
| Arm and tarp travel | Arms and tarp must move without striking cab guards, lights, exhaust, toolboxes, container hardware, or other equipment. |
| Arm configuration | Verify that the four-spring steel arm kit and its mounting approach match the intended tarp and container range. |
| Electrical and wireless controls | Confirm that the truck’s electrical installation, control placement, and remote-control workflow are appropriate for the job. |
| Installation plan | Qualified installation and a slow first cycle are essential to confirm alignment, mounting, wiring, and clearance. |
For a fitment review, provide the truck make and body style, container measurements, finished cab-to-hoist clearance, photos of the proposed mounting area, the tarp style, and any equipment that may affect arm travel. DeBrovys can help match the listed configuration to the operating need, but the installer must verify finished installation and safe operation on the actual equipment.
Installation, Commissioning, and Fleet Maintenance
Installation should be performed by qualified personnel experienced with truck-mounted tarp systems, structural mounting, electrical routing, hydraulic or electric equipment controls as applicable, and moving-equipment safety. Before the first full cycle, inspect all mounts and fasteners, confirm electrical routing is protected, review the remote and control-box functions, and operate the system slowly while observing arm movement, tarp tracking, and clearances. Do not assume a gantry is correctly adjusted simply because it powers on.
For fleet maintenance, inspect the arm assemblies, springs, pivots, cross tube, tarp attachment points, mounting hardware, electrical connections, remote-control operation, and signs of rubbing or misalignment. Record SKU 20-15100-ST4-WL, truck number, body configuration, container range, installation date, and service history in the equipment file. Accurate equipment records help separate a direct replacement decision from a configuration change that needs new fitment review.
Single-Stage vs. Two-Stage Gantry Selection
Shur-Co offers single- and two-stage gantry configurations because trucks and container operations do not all have the same reach, height, or clearance requirements. The single-stage family has a 52-inch frame height and 96-inch overall reach in the manufacturer’s ordering reference. The two-stage family is listed at 64 inches and 152 inches. Those measurements are selection references—not a reason to choose the larger system by default.
Choose the configuration that fits the actual operating envelope with correct clearances and controlled tarp travel. For comparison, DeBrovys also carries the 2-Stage Wireless Electric Gantry System with 4-Spring Aluminum Arms. It is a different configuration with different stage, arm-material, reach, and fitment considerations; it should not be substituted for this single-stage steel-arm kit without a new review.

Because this is a complete gantry-system purchase, also verify current price, freight, delivery requirements, installation arrangements, and fitment details before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in this single-stage gantry configuration?
This listing is a single-stage gantry package with a four-spring steel arm kit and wireless remote, identified by SKU 20-15100-ST4-WL. Confirm the exact truck, container, arm, tarp, mounting, and control requirements before ordering.
What are the single-stage gantry reference dimensions?
Shur-Co’s ordering reference lists a 52-inch frame height and 96-inch overall reach for the single-stage gantry family. These are selection references; the actual installation still requires a complete fitment and clearance review.
How long of an application can a four-spring arm configuration cover?
The manufacturer ordering form lists a four-spring external-mount arm option for applications up to 24 feet. Verify the actual arm configuration, container range, tarp dimensions, and operating clearances before relying on that reference for a particular truck.
Does the wireless remote remove the need for safe operation?
No. The wireless remote can support an operator workflow with a clear view of the system, but it does not replace inspection, a clear arm path, correct control selection, trained operation, or the requirement to keep people away from moving components.
Can DeBrovys help with a custom or non-standard gantry installation?
Yes. Provide the truck type, body configuration, container dimensions, finished measurements, and photos of the intended mounting area. DeBrovys can help review system fitment, related components, custom fabrication needs, and heat-sealed panel requests for compatible tarp applications.
