THIRIET TPA8147N Ø28 TARPAULIN TENSIONING BAR

Vertical bar for tarpaulin tensioning – Native compatibility with THIRIET systems – Diameter: Ø 28 mm – Product code: TPA8147N/ Krone 515089176/

The THIRIET (Product code: TPA8147N) tarpaulin tensioning bar, with a diameter of Ø 28 mm, is a specialized structural replacement component designed for the optimal stiffening, alignment, and tensioning of sliding (curtain-sider) tarpaulins. This technical profile is custom-made to ensure perfect compatibility with Thiriet superstructures and bodywork systems, representing the ideal solution for maintaining the correct geometry of the side textile curtain during transit.

Its primary role is to absorb and distribute tensile forces evenly both vertically and longitudinally, preventing the tarpaulin from flapping at highway speeds and eliminating the formation of air or water pockets. Manufactured from high-strength structural steel, cold-drawn for remarkable torsional rigidity, the bar successfully withstands high tightening torques without suffering axial deformation or twisting during use with the ratchet.

🚚 Delivery conditions for oversized items: Due to the atypical length of the profile (large, oversized product), the shipment of this item is carried out only after payment of a minimum deposit. Details regarding the exact cost of transport via fast courier and the remaining cash-on-delivery balance will be established by phone by our team upon order confirmation.

Advantages of the Thiriet Ø28 (TPA8147N) bar:

• Native geometric compatibility: The dimensions and profile of the bar correspond precisely to Thiriet specifications, ensuring a perfect fit in the original guides and supports, without play or mechanical-structural deviations.

• Excellent torsional resistance: The optimal wall thickness of the pipe and the quality of the structural steel provide the ideal base for firm tightening, keeping the tarpaulin perfectly tensioned even under the dynamic pressure of the wind.

• Long-lasting anti-corrosion protection: The deep industrial galvanization treatment completely isolates the metal against water, extreme humidity, road mud, and saline solutions used in winter for de-icing.

• Assembly sealing and aerodynamics: A well-tensioned curtain reduces the truck's wind resistance (optimizing fuel consumption) and protects the load from dust or water infiltration.

Areas of use and applications:

• Structural maintenance and TIR repairs: Replacement of tarpaulin bars that are bent, cracked, or deformed due to incorrect maneuvers at the ramp;

• Reconditioning of curtain superstructures: Essential component used by bodywork workshops for restoring quick-unloading systems;

• Securing transported goods: Maintaining the side tarpaulin in a perfect state of tension throughout internal and international routes.

Target audience (Who is this product for):

• Road freight transport companies, logistics firms, and TIR fleet managers;

• Bodywork workshops, truck service centers, and technicians specialized in the maintenance of commercial superstructures;

• Workshops specialized in the manufacturing, modification, and welding of industrial tarpaulins;

• Spare parts stores and authorized distributors of heavy vehicle hardware.

Practical recommendations for installation and use:

1. Sliding check: Before final fixation in the system, ensure that the lower and upper ratchet supports are perfectly coaxial, so that the Ø 28 mm bar can rotate freely in its housing without snagging.

2. Preventive maintenance: Clean and periodically apply a lubricant spray (technical grease or dry lubricant) to the contact points and drive heads to reduce friction and prevent premature wear of the fastening components.

Conclusion

The THIRIET Ø28 TPA8147N tarpaulin tensioning bar is a high-precision technical part, essential for the safety and integrity of the transport. Opting for a galvanized profile dedicated to Thiriet systems ensures a repair to original equipment standards, completely eliminates the need for improvised adjustments or welding in the service shop, and guarantees smooth operation at every loading.
