Abstract
A covering system for covering an open top container supported on a frame of a truck which includes a tarp device and a lifting device. The lifting device vertically moves the tarp device between a raised position at least ten feet above the frame to position tarp device high above the container and a lowered position below the top edge of the container. When the tarp device is raised, a tarp is extended from the tarp device to cover the container. The lifting device is then lowered to cover the open top of the container.
