East designs built-in tarp storage boxes for drop-deck trailers

East’s all-aluminum tarp storage box for drop-deck trailers is built into the floor of the upper or lower deck, an access location that helps reduce multiple climbs up and down on the trailer to tarp the load or to store the tarp and tie-downs, which saves time and energy for both tasks and lessens the chance of accidents.

The tarp storage boxes are available in various depth configurations – depending on the drop at the neck and beam depth of the drop-deck trailer – and can be placed in either the top deck, bottom deck or both decks.

Upper-deck box dimensions are 35 inches long by 13 inches wide (maximum 22 inches deep), and lower-deck box dimensions are 49½ inches long by 42½ inches wide (maximum 21 inches deep).

Only one problem with the aluminum box storage. It will turn tarps black with the aluminum rub off. It needs to be coated or a covering put on to prevent that. I have aluminum boxes for my tarps and I really don't like my tarps having this nasty aluminum residue on them. . It looks tacky and is totally unnecessary. Rhino lining fixed it  .     Come on  East you can do better.. Great idea  tho, ,just improve on it to protect our tarps.
