Product Overview
Protect Steel Loads from Rust and Road Exposure
Steel corrodes quickly when exposed to moisture and road salt. For flatbed drivers hauling steel rods, sheets, cables, coils, and metal building materials, a single rainy run without proper coverage can lead to rust and rejected loads. Steel tarps are built for these loads, sitting across the top and dropping down the sides to keep rain, road spray, and highway debris off the metal. These flatbed steel tarp's compact size and lighter weight compared to lumber tarps make it easier to deploy and fold, making it a practical choice for hotshot haulers and fleet drivers. For those who haul cables, pipes, or metal sheets regularly, this is the tarp that belongs in your kit.
Choose the Right Fabric for Your Haul
Made from PVC-coated polyester, all three steel tarp options are fully waterproof and offer UV resistance, mildew resistance, and abrasion resistance, with consistent performance in temperatures from -4°F to 158°F:
- Freight Shield (13 oz): 1000 denier at 15 mil thickness. A popular choice for hotshot haulers and gooseneck flatbed operators who need a lightweight steel tarp that is easy to handle on frequent regional runs.
- Freight Guard (18 oz): 1000 denier at 18 mil thickness. The standard for professional flatbed steel hauling. Stands up to sharp load edges, road vibration, and sustained weather exposure on long-haul routes.
- Freight Armor (22 oz): 1000 denier at 28 mil thickness. Best for rough-edged structural steel, heavy coil loads, or extreme weather conditions where maximum durability is required.
Compact Design with Reliable Anchoring Options
Built for flatbed haulers carrying low-profile steel freight, these steel tarps for flatbeds deliver reliable top and side coverage with a shorter drop profile, ideal for steel sheets, cable spools, metal rods, and pallet loads sitting close to the deck. Welded D-rings along the tarp, offer multiple tie-down points from front to rear. Reinforced grommets and webbing hold up under repeated use, while heat-sealed seams prevent moisture from reaching the load during transit. Custom sizing and a range of color options are available, with a 3" to 4" leeway for better fit. Pair them with a smoke tarp to protect the front face of your load or a coil tarp when the freight includes round cylindrical steel.
Easy Cleaning with Bulk Order Pricing
Keeping your steel tarps clean after each haul helps remove salt, grime, and debris. Use water with mild soap and dry fully before folding to help prevent mildew during storage. Bulk pricing is available for large orders. Shop our tarps today and protect every metal load from pickup to delivery.
