Product Description
SWAT CH Self-Contained Remote System for 18–21 ft Containers
The SWAT CH Self-Contained w/Remote system is a complete automatic tarp-system configuration for compatible roll-off and hook-lift waste-hauling equipment. This listing is configured for 18- to 21-foot containers and includes a 9-foot-8-inch by 28-foot Mighty Mesh tarp. It is designed for fleet managers, municipal and private waste operators, recycling businesses, demolition contractors, and maintenance departments that need a complete remotely operated tarp system for longer roll-off container work.
The self-contained remote configuration supports practical tarp operation from the truck rather than a manual cover routine. This system must be matched to the actual truck, container range, mounting structure, tarp path, body clearances, and hydraulic/electrical arrangement. A container-length range is an important starting point, but it does not replace an equipment-specific fitment review.

Automatic Roll-Off Coverage for Longer Containers
Shur-Co describes the SWAT system family as a fully automatic tarp solution for roll-off and hook-lift applications. The product family uses synchronized front-to-back tarp deployment and is built around precision gear-and-rack components, hard-pipe hydraulic cylinders, and low-profile arms. This SWAT CH listing is a self-contained remote configuration for the 18- to 21-foot container range.
Longer container work increases the importance of correct tarp travel and arm clearance. In waste, recycling, scrap, construction, and demolition operations, a system that does not match the container range may cause uneven deployment, premature wear, or contact with container hardware. A careful pre-order review of the current truck and container setup supports safer operation and helps avoid the cost of a mismatched complete system.
Included 9 ft 8 in x 28 ft Mighty Mesh Tarp
The included 9-foot-8-inch by 28-foot Mighty Mesh tarp is part of this defined configuration. Mesh is often selected for roll-off work where a ventilated cover and controlled airflow are helpful. Confirm that the tarp dimensions, attachment edge, tarp tube, and travel path are correct for the installed equipment. The cover should be evaluated together with the arms, roller, pivots, container height, and body clearances.
Shur-Co identifies Mighty Mesh as a premium tarp option for the SWAT family and describes a standard spline connection that supports faster, one-person tarp replacement. Confirm the installed attachment style before purchasing replacement components or scheduling service. For a modified truck, provide clear photographs of the tarp tube, attachment edge, pivot areas, and clearance points before requesting a fitment review.
Compatibility Checklist Before Ordering
Confirm each of the following conditions before ordering this SWAT CH system. The working container range should be 18 to 21 feet. The truck must be a compatible roll-off or hook-lift application. The installed or planned hydraulic and electrical arrangement must support the self-contained remote configuration. The tarp path must remain clear of body corners, cab guards, toolboxes, exhaust components, lights, and container hardware throughout the full deployment cycle.
| Confirm before ordering | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Container length range | This listing is configured for 18- to 21-foot containers. |
| Truck and body configuration | Roll-off and hook-lift applications can require different mounting and clearance checks. |
| Hydraulic and electrical arrangement | Self-contained remote operation must be compatible with the actual equipment installation. |
| Tarp path and arm clearance | Arms and mesh must move without contacting body accessories, container hardware, or obstructions. |
| Attachment method | Confirm the tarp-tube, spline, and related attachment hardware on the installed system. |
| Condition of existing equipment | Correct bent arms, damaged pivots, worn cylinders, and loose mounts before a new system is installed. |
Installation and Maintenance Guidance
A complete automatic tarp system should be installed by qualified personnel able to assess mounting structure, hydraulic components, electrical connections, clearance, and safe system travel. At the first operating cycle, deploy and retract the tarp slowly while watching both sides of the system. Stop if the tarp tracks unevenly, the arms lose synchronization, the mesh rubs against an obstruction, or the system does not operate as expected.
Establish a fleet maintenance record that includes SKU 20-1810412, the 18- to 21-foot container range, tarp dimensions, installation date, equipment number, and service actions. Inspect pivots, gear-and-rack engagement, hard-pipe components, attachment hardware, and the mesh cover at regular intervals. Accurate records make a future replacement or troubleshooting discussion much more reliable than a generic system name.
