Donovan® Brand Double-Flip™ Tarping Systems


Superior Design – Overlapping Lids Prevent Blowout!

The Double-Flip™ opens and closes in under 10 seconds! It’s simple to operate, easy to maintain and extremely affordable. Designed to cover open-top transfer trailers up to 102 inches wide and 53 feet long, with an hydraulic power gantry and tarp roller that operates off the trailer’s hydraulics. (Optional self-contained power kit available for tipper trailers.)


Lids rest flush on trailer sides when opened, allowing loading in narrow spaces. Lids overlap when closed to properly seal the load and eliminate blowout. A 2-spool manual control valve, mounted on the trailer’s front wall, allows independent operation of each lid. The Double-Flip’s 3-arm design provides the proper combination of strength and flexibility to cover and contain uneven loads.

The Double-Flip™ system uses the same frame and hinges as our Sidewinder™. Pre-assembled head assembly mounts to any style front trailer wall. Its heavy-duty linkage and self-lubricating hinges ensure durability, and the head cover looks good, reduces air flow under the tarp and protects the head assembly from debris and the operator from moving parts. The kit includes valves, hoses, tarp, frame and other components; some additional hardware may be needed. Approximate shipping weight: 1,200 lbs.
