THIRIET Ø28 TARPAULIN TENSIONING BAR TPA8149N

Vertical bar for tarpaulin tensioning – Native compatibility with THIRIET systems – Diameter: Ø 28 mm – Product code: TPA8149N/ Koegel 6131287

The THIRIET (Product code: TPA8149N) tarpaulin tensioning bar, with a diameter of Ø 28 mm, is a specialized spare part structurally designed for the rigidifying, securing, and optimal tensioning of sliding (curtain-side) tarpaulins. This technical profile is manufactured specifically to ensure perfect compatibility with Thiriet superstructures and bodywork systems, representing the ideal solution for maintaining the correct geometry of the side curtain during transit.

Its primary role is to absorb and uniformly distribute vertical and longitudinal tensile forces, preventing tarpaulin 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.

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

Technical specifications:

Advantages of the Thiriet Ø28 bar (TPA8149N):

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

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

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

• Assembly sealing and aerodynamics: A well-tensioned curtain reduces truck drag (optimizing fuel consumption) and protects the cargo from dust or water infiltration.

Areas of use and applications:

• TIR structural maintenance and repairs: Replacing tarpaulin bars that are bent, cracked, or deformed due to incorrect ramp maneuvers;

• Reconditioning of curtain superstructures: Essential component used by bodywork workshops for repairing rapid cover systems;

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

Target audience (Who this product is for):

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

• Bodywork workshops, truck service centers, and technicians specialized in commercial superstructure maintenance;

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

• Spare parts stores and authorized distributors of hardware for heavy vehicles.

Practical recommendations for installation and use:

1. Slide check: Before final fixing in the system, ensure that the bottom and top ratchet supports are perfectly coaxial so that the Ø 28 mm bar can rotate freely in its slot.

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

Conclusion

The THIRIET Ø28 TPA8149N tarpaulin tensioning bar is a high-precision technical part, essential for transport safety and integrity. Opting for a galvanized profile dedicated to Thiriet systems completely eliminates the need for improvised adaptations or welding in the workshop, guaranteeing smooth operation at every loading and an extended service life on the road.
