What is the advantage of using the TDS-30 Tarp Deployment System compared to pulling tarps over waste with other landfill equipment?
TDS-30 will dramatically increase the life of the tarps being deployed and retrieved because the tarps are not being dragged across the working face, they are being rolled. Its controlled by remote control by the operator in the cab or your existing landfill equipment.
I noticed that the TDS-30 will hold (4) 30 x 100 tarps at one time. My working face is 60 x 100. How can I use your machine under these measurements?
This is easily done. You would only have to use (2) 30 x 100 tarps. When the first tarp is laid out, (operator stops the spindle by the remote). He detaches the first tarp by unhooking the six carabiners from the second tarp. He then moves over and pulls ahead again and lays out the second tarp overlapping the first tarp. This operation is done in several landfills that have wider working faces.
How much does the TDS-30 cost?
The TDS-30 costs less than a pick-up truck and will last much longer (excluding freight cost and tarps).
What keeps the tarps from lifting up after deployment?
Our tarps have 5/16 chain in pockets around perimeter and webbing reinforced edges and corners.
How long does it take the TD-S30 to cover a 9,000 sq.ft. working face?
About 10 Minutes.
How many people does it take to operate a TDS-30?
The TDS-30 only requires one piece of equipment and one operator.
Is your tarp deployment system available in different colors?
Yes, we can paint your TDS in custom colors, for example, yellow.
