About Pulltarps

Pulltarps was founded in 1992 by Lynn Chenowth. At the time, Lynn was known for Chenowth Racing and his development of the Chenowth Fast Attack Vehicles used in the Kuwait war. When he was approached by a local trucking company about a tarping system without arms, the original Pulltarp spring-return truck tarping system was born. Unlike other truck tarp companies, Pulltarps products are manufactured on location in El Cajon, California, making customization a quick and effortless process. They have built their reputation on providing innovative dump truck tarp systems and guarantee a durable and high-quality product. For more information visit https://www.pulltarps.com/.
