Flex Bows are constructed from rigid yet flexible, impact-resistant nylon, offering an ideal solution for loading trailers. Unlike metal bows, which bend and break under impact, flexible tarp bows return to their original shape. While they are not invincible, they greatly expedite and simplify the process of loading dump trailers, hoppers, grain wagons, and containers.
These nylon flex bows are 1-3/8" in diameter, 102" long, and weigh about 5 lbs each. They provide support for roll tarps on trailers up to 102" wide, and can be cut to accommodate a 7" to 12". Two flexbow pockets (not included) are required per bow. Install flex bows every 42" to ensure optimal support for your side roll tarp.
Nylon is a strong, lightweight, stiff engineering plastic with outstanding durability and resilience. Fiberglass tarp bows, while similar, are heavier, more expensive, and are prone to cracking under stress.
Flexible Tarp Bow Benefits:
- Damage-Free Loading: FlexBows can withstand impact and maintain their shape.
- Easy to Use: Unlike traditional bows, Flex Bows eliminate the need for tedious removal and replacement. Once measured, they just pop into place with no need for welding or screw tightening.
- Durability: Crafted from industrial-strength nylon, our Flex Bows are built to last and will not rust or corrode.

Installing Flex Bows on Your Dump Trailer:
1. Measure the inside width of the trailer box.
2. For a 7" rise: Cut the flex bow 1-1/2" longer than the inside width of the trailer.

This flexible tarp bow accommodates trailers up to 102" wide. For wider trailers, order 120" flex bows.
