Covering up
Shur-Co, a manufacturer of roll-up tarps for farm trucks and grain semi-trailers, has introduced a tarp for grain carts.
The Shur-Lok for grain carts comes in original design and junior models.
The original has a hold-down system designed to ensure the tarp fits properly without ropes, cables, clamps or tie-downs.
One person can operate the system from the ground.
The junior model is simplified and less expensive. Its end caps are part of the tarp and will roll open with it.
