Description

The Aero SideKick 2 combines the simplicity of the original SideKick® system with upgraded, high-performance components. The result is a tarp system with greater strength, higher torque, reduced stress on key parts, and a tighter, more reliable seal — all built to speed up and streamline side-dump operations.

Model Options

• SK2-20: Shorter system length for trailers requiring a 20′ configuration
• SK2-36: Longer system length for trailers requiring a 36′ configuration

Both kits include the same SideKick 2 components—the only difference is the system length needed to match your trailer.

Key Features

• Lightweight, Heavy-Duty Construction

Engineered for demanding hauling applications, the SideKick 2 maintains rugged durability while minimizing added weight.

• Strongest Roll Tube on the Market

Aero’s roll-tube design delivers maximum durability and long-term performance, even in harsh operating environments.

• Higher-Torque Drive Box

The improved drive box increases roll-tube torque by approximately 60%, reducing strain on the motor shaft and improving overall rolling reliability.

• Pivot Box with U-Groove Rollers

This enhanced pivot design spreads load over a larger area, decreases tension on the swing arm, and ensures smoother, more consistent tarp operation.

• Compression Spring System

Provides greater lift for larger loads, improved clearance during dumping, and smoother tarp movement from start to finish.

• Better Clearance & Tighter Seal

The SideKick 2 offers improved clearance above the tub side rail and a firmer seal against the top rail. This helps reduce spillage, control materials more effectively, and support faster dump cycles.

• Simplified Installation

Major components are designed for easier setup and retrofit compatibility, helping reduce installation time and labor effort.

Why It Matters for Your Operation

Upgrading to the SideKick 2 means smoother tarp deployment, fewer maintenance issues, and tighter overall load containment. Its strengthened components reduce strain on motors and structural parts, helping extend system life and minimize downtime. For operators who need reliability and efficiency, the SideKick 2 delivers a clear advantage.
