📐 How to Measure Your Truck for a Cover

🚛 Flatbed Trailer

Measure deck length (inside rub rails)
Measure deck width (inside rub rails)
Add 60 cm to length, 80 cm to width for overhang
Check if you have Keder rail or rope hooks
Measure existing grommet spacing (usually 50-100 cm)

Formula: Cover = (deck + 60cm) × (deck + 80cm)

🔄 Dump Truck

Measure dump body length (inside)
Measure dump body width (inside)
Measure body depth (sidewall height)
Add 40 cm to length, 50 cm to width
Note tailgate hinge location

Formula: Cover = (body + 40cm) × (body + 50cm), depth + 30cm

📦 Curtain Sider

Measure rail-to-rail width (Keder track distance)
Measure rail-to-rail height
Order fabric width = rail spacing + 10cm (for bead insertion)
Order fabric height = rail height + 15cm (for top + bottom bead)

Keder bead size: standard 5mm, 6mm, or 8mm — confirm with photo

🚢 Container Cover

Standard 20ft: 5.9m × 2.35m opening
Standard 40ft: 12.0m × 2.35m opening
Add 40-50 cm overhang each side
Keder rail is standard on container covers
Specify if you need lifting straps at corners

Container covers = (opening + 80cm) × (opening + 100cm)

Pro tip: Send us a photo of your truck from multiple angles with a tape measure visible. We can suggest the optimal configuration and spot potential fit issues before production.
