Description

The Roll-Rite DC850 Series is the toughest and most advanced tarp system built for multi-axle roll-off and hooklift trucks hauling containers up to 40 yards and using tarps up to 30 feet long. Engineered for maximum durability and uptime, the DC850 features Roll-Rite’s new TORC™ Pivot Technology, delivering up to 3× more holding power with smooth, consistent performance—without the use of hydraulics or steel springs. Tested to over 100,000+ cycles, the DC850 is designed to keep your trucks on the road and reduce costly downtime.

Powerful, Consistent Tarping Performance

The patents-pending TORC™ pivot provides near-constant tension through the entire tarping cycle, ensuring superior load securement at highway speeds, on rough job sites, and in harsh weather. Each compact 3-inch pivot weighs under 30 lbs yet delivers the holding force of up to 16 torsion springs, offering exceptional strength without added weight.

Fast, Installation-Ready System

The DC850 arrives fully pre-assembled and pre-wired, including:

• Integrated tarp spool housing
• Super Duty electric gear motor
• Power pack
• Wireless Black Box™ controls
• Work lights

This “install-ready” setup significantly reduces installation time and gives operators full 360° wireless control with keyfob remotes for safe walk-around operation.

Wireless 360° Operation

Roll-Rite’s Black Box™ wireless controls allow full walk-around functionality with keyfob remotes. Operators get push-button access to the tarp system and integrated work lights, meeting SAE J1455 standards for heavy-duty vehicle performance and reliability.

Heavy-Duty Electric Power

At the heart of the system is Roll-Rite’s Super Duty electric gear motor, built with spur and helical gears, precision bearings, and heat-treated components. Designed for long service life, it carries the industry’s only 5-year non-prorated warranty against premature wear.

Engineered for Safety & Easy Maintenance

The DC850 eliminates steel springs and hydraulics entirely, instead using cold-weather rated gas springs for safer, cleaner operation. A maintenance-first design includes:

• Single-pin lock-out/tag-out energy release in under 5 minutes
• Fast access to pivot components
• Major pivot repairs in under 30 minutes to reduce downtime and labor costs

Built for Heavy-Duty Roll-Off Applications

The system uses extreme-duty extruded aluminum tarp arms for maximum strength-to-weight performance, while an optional 45° pivot arm offset improves clearance and reduces interference on challenging hoist setups. Paired with Roll-Rite’s premium tarp fabrics—including mesh for general refuse and heavy-duty options for scrap and C&D—the DC850 is built to outlast even the harshest working conditions.
