7ft 6in x 14ft Manual Cab Level Hand Crank Tarp Roller Kit - PVC Mesh

In this review the Mytee Products manual cab level hand crank tarp roller kit is assessed for contractors and truck operators who need a straightforward tarp system for dump trucks or trailers. The kit's single biggest reason to buy is its practical combination of a telescoping extruded aluminum roller and a heavy 7'6' x 14' PVC mesh tarp that fits most standard dump bodies, making it a simple retrofit for hauling and covering loose loads. The review focuses on build quality, installation realities, and whether the included hardware and tarp meet everyday worksite demands.

Key Features

• Telescoping aluminum roller: The extruded roller telescopes to the exact width of the truck, letting users achieve a snug fit across different body widths.
• Included folding crank: A 7 in. folding crank with detent provides mechanical advantage and a compact crank that stows safely when not in use.
• Heavy PVC mesh tarp: The 7'6' x 14' tarp is 50% shade rate PVC coated vinyl built with 11x11 fabric for breathability and debris containment without excessive wind drag.
• Reinforced hems and grommets: Brass #4 grommets every two feet and 2 in. polyester webbing reinforcement on hems improve longevity at common stress points.
• Sewn-in rear pocket: A standard rear pocket accepts an optional anti-sail retention bow (sold separately) for improved load hold in windy conditions.
• All mounting hardware: The kit ships with the necessary mounting hardware so it can be ordered as a single part number and installed as a complete system.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at utility contractors, landscapers, haulers, and municipal fleets that need a no-frills manual tarp solution for a dump body or dump trailer. It suits users who value replaceable tarps and durable roller hardware that can be adjusted to width without custom fabrication.

Those who should look elsewhere include operators needing a fully automatic electric tarp system or customers who require custom-sized tarps beyond common dimensions; also check compatibility carefully if your truck has unusual mounting points, because a few buyers reported missing parts or bolt length issues during installation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy extruded aluminum roller that telescopes to fit a range of truck widths.

• Standard sewn-in pocket accepts optional anti-sail bow for better wind control.

Cons

• Installation feedback is mixed: directions can be unclear and some buyers reported missing pieces or bolts that were too short.
• Some users reported durability issues with the tarp under extreme conditions, so heavy daily abuse may require closer inspection or more frequent replacement.
