Trombetta Weatherproof Reverse Polarity Solenoid Tarp Kit

The Ultimate Trombetta Weatherproof Reverse Polarity Solenoid Kit

When operating a heavy-duty electric tarp system on a dump truck or trailer, reliable electrical control is absolutely critical. The Trombetta Weatherproof Reverse Polarity Solenoid Complete Kit (SKU: 25-P-600T) from DeBrovys is the industry standard for delivering safe, consistent, and weatherproof power to your tarp motor. Designed specifically for the harsh conditions of the trucking and waste industries, this complete kit replaces standard, vulnerable switches with a robust, sealed solenoid system.

Electric tarp motors require significant amperage to wind and unwind heavy mesh or vinyl tarps over heaped loads. Traditional toggle switches often fail under this load because all the current passes directly through the switch in the cab. The Trombetta solenoid system solves this by keeping the high-amperage power outside the cab, using a low-amperage rocker switch to trigger the heavy-duty reversing contactor. This ensures maximum safety, longer component life, and reliable operation in any weather.

What is Included in the Complete Solenoid Kit?

The DeBrovys Trombetta Weatherproof Solenoid Kit comes with everything required for a complete, professional installation. We have bundled all the necessary components so you do not have to waste time sourcing individual parts. This kit is designed to get your electric tarp system back up and running with minimal downtime.

Inside the package, you will find the heavy-duty Trombetta weatherproof reverse polarity solenoid (contactor), which acts as the heart of the system. The kit also includes a sleek, universal rocker-style switch for the cab, a weatherproof protective cover for the solenoid terminals, an auto-reset circuit breaker, a heavy-duty tri-wire harness (typically 15 feet in length), and a complete assortment of terminal rings, mounting plates, and hardware.

Why Upgrade to a Weatherproof Solenoid System?

Many dump truck operators start with a basic rotary or toggle switch, only to find themselves replacing it every season due to burned-out contacts or water intrusion. Upgrading to the Trombetta Weatherproof Reverse Polarity Solenoid Kit offers several distinct advantages that save you money and frustration over the long haul.

First and foremost is weatherproofing. The Trombetta solenoid is fully sealed against moisture, dust, road salt, and debris. This means you can mount it externally on the truck frame or near the tarp motor without worrying about corrosion destroying the internal contacts. Second is electrical safety. By routing the heavy 50+ amp current directly from the battery to the solenoid and then to the motor, you keep dangerous high-amperage wiring out of the truck cab. The driver only interacts with a safe, low-voltage rocker switch. If you frequently haul corrosive materials under your Waste Industry Tarps, this sealed system is an absolute necessity.

Universal Compatibility for Major Tarp Brands

The 25-P-600T Trombetta kit is engineered for universal compatibility. It is designed to work flawlessly with standard 12-volt DC electric tarp motors used across the commercial trucking industry. Whether you are running a front-to-rear flip tarp on a single-axle dump or a heavy-duty system on a long roll-off trailer, this solenoid kit provides the necessary reversing power.

This kit serves as a direct replacement or upgrade for systems manufactured by Roll-Rite, Donovan, Aero Industries, US Tarp, Buyers Products, Mountain Tarp, Pull Tarp, and Tarping Systems Inc. (TSI). It replaces common parts such as the Buyers Products 5541100 and Cole Hersee 24452. No matter what brand of Truck Tarp Systems you operate, the Trombetta solenoid will integrate seamlessly.

Installation and Wiring Best Practices

Installing the Trombetta solenoid kit is a straightforward process, but proper wiring is essential for optimal performance. The solenoid itself should be mounted securely to the truck frame or bulkhead, ideally as close to the tarp motor or battery as practical to minimize the length of heavy-gauge power cables. The included weatherproof cover must be installed over the terminals to ensure the system remains sealed against the elements.

The 15-foot tri-wire harness connects the solenoid to the rocker switch inside the cab. Because the rocker switch only handles a low-amperage trigger signal, the wiring routing into the cab is much easier and safer than running thick battery cables through the firewall. Always ensure the included auto-reset circuit breaker is installed inline on the main power feed to protect the motor. If you are doing a complete system overhaul, consider pairing this electrical upgrade with one of our durable Replacement Tarps to ensure your entire load covering system is in top condition.

Built Tough for the Commercial Trucking Industry

At DeBrovys, we understand that every minute your truck is down for repairs is money lost. That is why we stock premium, industrial-grade components like the Trombetta Weatherproof Solenoid Kit. Trombetta is globally recognized for manufacturing heavy-duty DC contactors that withstand extreme vibration, temperature fluctuations, and environmental exposure.
