Introducing the Conestoga 2:
The Revolutionary Flatbed Trailer Sliding Tarp System

Conestoga 2™ is the newest generation of tarping system from Aero Industries. Named for the covered wagons of early pioneers, Aero's original Conestoga featured an innovative rolling tarp that covers and uncovers a flatbed trailer in seconds. Now Conestoga 2 adds many new features to improve this unique system and give you more options.

Call us today at 1-800-535-9545 to learn how the Conestoga 2 can add speed, safety and productivity to your business.

Aero Industries has designed a rolling tarp system that provides security and protection for loads best carried on a flatbed trailer. Instead of climbing over the trailer and tying down a tarp, the Conestoga 2 allows drivers to cover and uncover their loads in seconds as they walk along the trailer.

This innovative tarping system is faster and safer for drivers and provides better protection for transporting steel, lumber, machinery, building products and produce. The versatility of the Conestoga 2 also increases profits by allowing drivers to spend more time on the road and increasing their backhaul options.

Conestoga 2 features Aero's patented wheel and track system, a new bulkhead, a streamlined tarp, improved upflift bows and redesigned front and rear locks to make the system the most innovative tarping solution on the road today!

Aero's specialized sales and service team will customize the Conestoga 2 to your specifications, ensuring a perfect fit to your flatbed, drop deck or straight truck.

New Features and Enhancements of Conestoga 2

Wheel & Track

Aero's patented wheel and track system is the foundation of the Conestoga 2. Steel wheels and a stainless steel track insert work together to make opening and closing the system smooth and easy. The Conestoga 2 also features a built-in bump rail that protects the track from forklifts and other loading hazards.

Since the wheel and track system is a critical component of a quality rolling trap, Aero offers a lifetime warranty on the wheels and bearings.

Bulkhead

The bulkhead on the Conestoga 2 has been redesigned to provide a more aerodynamic look, with sleek lines and a smooth front cap. It's also the first in the industry to include marker lights, improving visibility for nighttime driving.

The Conestoga 2 bulkhead also provides safety and convenience, with a DOT rating of 50,000 pounds and a non-DOT model with access door is also available.

Tarp

Conestoga 2 continues Aero's tradition of providing high-quality tarping solutions with a strong, coated vinyl tarp that has been redesigned to work without cables and provide a tighter, seamless look. The Conestoga 2 is available in a variety of standard colors and may also be ordered with customized designs.

NOTE: Colors are for reference only. Additional colors are available with minimum quantity and lead time requirements. To acquire an accurate color swatch or more information on color options, please contact Aero Industries at 800.535.9545 or online.

Uplift Bows

A major innovation on Conestoga 2 is Aero's patented spring shocks on the system's uplift bows. The new system reduces vibration from road conditions, keeping the tarp tight and reducing wear on the uplift bows.

Conestoga 2 is available with standard double uplift bows that have 8" to 10" sag when the tarp is open. Optional quad uplift bows reduce sag to 3" — 4" and provide greater clearance for the load.

Front Locks

A redesigned front lock on the Conestoga 2 is stronger and easier to use. The hook and pin catch is securely fastened by a one-piece ratchet handle that simply turns one way to lock and the other way to open.

Front and rear locks operate in all kinds of weather without lubrication or adjustment and require little maintenance.

Rear Locks

The sturdy rear locks on the Conestoga 2 work to increase the tarp's tension while securing the load. Contained in the rear bow, they allow for full deck clearance and ground-level operation. Options on the Conestoga 2 include a standard rear curtain.

Other Products

Aero manufactures a complete line of good-looking, hard-working flatbed products to fit your needs. Each is designed with the attention to detail and quality that you expect from a leader in the transportation industry.
