Automated tarping systems supplier Pioneer has launched the HR2500 PowerGlide tarping system for medium-duty applications.

The PowerGlide is suitable for single and multi-axle roll-off hoists and slides forward and backward 24 in. to accommodate various size containers and, according to Pioneer, requires less maintenance than electric systems, and boasting heavy-duty torsion springs that provide a 10- to 15-year service life. The hydraulic system includes an adjustable gantry that moves 60 to 96 in.

The PowerGlide was designed to extend tarp life and reduce the need for ongoing maintenance, the company said. The system’s heavy-duty windscreen prevents whipping of the tarp, while the reinforced rear pocket provides increased tarp strength. The maintenance-free slider carriage bearings provide easy movement and will last the life of the system, the company added.

“The new PowerGlide will allow us to address growing industry demand for medium-duty systems for the waste industry,” said Chris Nicolazzo, Pioneer’s general manager for tarps. “We are happy to round out our product offering to provide the unparalleled expertise and value that are hallmarks of the Pioneer brand to a whole new set of customers.”

The PowerGlide is installed in less than eight hours through Pioneer’s dealer and service center network. The product also comes with standard steel arms and offers an industry-leading three-year warranty.
