Frequently Asked Questions – Truck & Cargo Cover Tarpaulins
1. Which GSM is best for truck and cargo cover tarpaulins?
The ideal GSM depends on vehicle type, cargo weight, operating conditions, and route. Medium-duty transport applications typically use 180–300 GSM, while heavy commercial fleets, mining operations, and long-haul logistics often prefer 350 GSM and above for improved durability and longer service life.
2. What features improve the lifespan of truck tarpaulins?
Factors such as UV stabilization, reinforced hems, high-quality eyelets, strong stitching or welded seams, premium raw materials, and proper installation significantly increase product life while reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
3. Can truck covers be manufactured according to vehicle dimensions?
Yes. GCC manufactures truck covers based on vehicle length, width, side height, trailer design, container dimensions, eyelet spacing, and fastening systems, ensuring a precise fit for each application.
