Your Adelaide Tarp Specialists

Spanning over two generations within the industry, Adelaide Tarp Specialists has been delivering some of the country’s most trusted transport tarpaulins and canvas goods. With a focus on safety, quality and value for money, our South Australian-owned and operated company has grown to become one of the nation’s most innovative and versatile load-covering manufacturers.


In the 1990s, we developed the Roll-A-Way™ and the Winch-A-Way™ systems, to increase driver productivity and meet new OHS standards. Compared with tipper tarps that are manually handled, our systems deliver up to a 25% increase in loads per day. Our team then went on to develop the waterproof Side Cable Winch-A-Way™ system.

Over the years, we have become even more versatile with several brands of systems, including the Dual Cable system, which seems to be the most popular to date (mesh or PVC). With in-house custom metal fabrication and custom manufacturing for your framework needs, our highly experienced tradespeople offer custom work and repairs for ground-operated tipper systems, boat covers, trailer canopies, caravan annexes, and more.


In August 2023, the Directors of Adelaide Tarp Specialists were able to welcome Academy Tarps within ATS. Academy Tarps was started by the first-generation Director of ATS in 1972, and after selling the company in 1984, we are happy to have it back home with the family where it all started. This is why you may find the Academy Tarps logo being displayed alongside the ATS pinnacle in more recent times.
