Product Description
SWAT CH Self-Contained Remote Tarp System with Mighty Mesh
The SWAT CH Self-Contained w/Remote system is a complete automatic tarp-system configuration for roll-off and hook-lift waste-hauling equipment. This listing is configured for 12- to 18-foot containers and includes a 9-foot-8-inch by 28-foot Mighty Mesh tarp. The product is intended for fleet managers, municipal and private waste operators, recycling haulers, demolition contractors, and repair departments that need a complete remotely operated cover system rather than an individual replacement tarp.
Its self-contained arrangement and remote-control capability are designed to simplify tarp operation on compatible equipment. The specified Mighty Mesh cover supports a ventilated load-covering application, while the system configuration is selected around the container-length range shown in the product name. Before ordering, confirm the truck type, container length, body clearances, installed hydraulic arrangement, and mounting points. A complete automatic system must be matched to the actual truck and container—not selected from container length alone.

How the SWAT System Supports Roll-Off Operations
Shur-Co describes its SWAT product family as a fully automatic tarp solution for roll-off and hook-lift applications. The broader SWAT design uses synchronized front-to-back tarp movement, precision gear-and-rack components, hard-pipe hydraulic cylinders, and low-profile arms to support serviceability and reduce exposure to common operating hazards. This listing is a self-contained remote configuration within that product family.
For waste, recycling, scrap, and demolition operations, a reliable tarp system is part of the dispatch routine. The practical objective is consistent load coverage without asking an operator to climb, manually pull a cover, or improvise a solution around uneven daily schedules. In a fleet setting, the value comes from consistent operation, clear maintenance records, and selecting a system that truly matches the container range in use.
Why the 9 ft 8 in x 28 ft Mighty Mesh Tarp Matters
The included 9-foot-8-inch by 28-foot Mighty Mesh tarp is matched to this product configuration. Mesh is often selected in roll-off work where controlled airflow and practical load containment are needed. The specified tarp dimensions must be evaluated together with the truck, container, arm travel, and attachment method; a correct tarp size alone does not establish full system compatibility.
Shur-Co identifies Mighty Mesh as a premium tarp option in the SWAT system family and describes the standard spline connection as a feature that can support faster, one-person replacement. Confirm the installed attachment style before ordering service parts or planning a future replacement. If your equipment has been modified, photograph the current tarp tube, attachment edge, pivot area, and container clearances before requesting assistance.
Compatibility and Pre-Order Measurement Checklist
Use the following checklist before purchasing a complete SWAT CH system. First, confirm that the working container range is 12 to 18 feet. Next, confirm the truck is a compatible roll-off or hook-lift application and identify whether a self-contained remote system is appropriate for the installed hydraulic and electrical arrangement. Then measure the existing tarp path, front and rear clearances, arm travel, and any obstructions such as toolboxes, cab guards, exhaust routing, or body modifications.
| Confirm before ordering | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Container length range | This listing is configured for 12- to 18-foot containers. |
| Truck / body type | Roll-off and hook-lift configurations can have different mounting and clearance requirements. |
| Hydraulic and electrical arrangement | Self-contained remote operation must be compatible with the actual equipment installation. |
| Tarp path and clearances | Low-profile arms and the tarp must travel without contacting obstacles or container hardware. |
| Attachment hardware | Confirm the correct tarp-tube and spline or other attachment arrangement. |
| Existing system condition | Damaged arms, cylinders, pivots, or mounting points should be corrected before a new system is installed. |
Installation and Fleet Maintenance Guidance
A complete automatic tarp system should be installed by qualified personnel who can verify mounting structure, electrical connections, hydraulic components, and safe system travel. Before the first operating cycle, confirm the arms clear the container and body, the tarp deploys evenly, and the remote operation functions as intended. Stop operation immediately if the cover tracks unevenly, the arms do not move together, or the tarp contacts an obstacle.
For ongoing fleet maintenance, inspect pivot points, gear-and-rack engagement, cylinders, connection hardware, tarp attachment, and the mesh cover at defined intervals. Keep a system record that includes the product SKU, installed container range, tarp dimensions, installation date, service actions, and equipment number. That record makes future replacement and troubleshooting more accurate than relying on a general product name.
