Not all materials need to be transported in the same conditions. There’s a big difference between transporting gravel and asphalt. Asphalt must be kept at a high temperature to make it easier to unload and maintain its quality.
We’ve heard that in Western Canada, mosquito netting is sometimes used instead of a tarp because it’s lighter and easier to handle. However, that significantly impacts the product’s quality.
TechnoFlex offers tarps that keep asphalt at the right temperature, to preserve its integrity, while also being easy to handle.
Vinyl tarps are popular with transporters because they’re sturdy and can be used with various materials.
However, their weight may cause health and safety issues, so in some cases, you’ll want to make sure you’re using the appropriate size. For example, using a 10 oz tarp instead of an 18 oz one will help reduce risks for your employees and provide appropriate protection for your materials.
TechnoFlex has the expertise required to help you choose the best type of tarp for the materials you transport. Don't hesitate to contact us for advice, because using the right tarp will help you preserve the quality of your deliveries while protecting your employees.
