A lightweight, low-profile tarp system engineered for demanding daily hauling applications.Professional Supply & Installation of the O’Brian Diablo Roll-Off Tarp System in Ontario.Installing tarp systems and fabricating tarps since 2005 — serving owner-operators and fleet buyers across Ontario.
Supplying and professionally installing commercial roll-off tarp systems for waste, scrap, and construction operations.
Why operators consider the O’Brian Diablo:
Lightweight configuration designed to help preserve available payload capacity.
Low-profile arm positioning intended to reduce exposure to jobsite impacts.
Enclosed oil-bath pivot design engineered to minimize routine maintenance requirements.
Arm geometry configured to support improved rear container coverage.
Tarp System Issues Often Show Up as Ongoing Operating Costs
In many operations, tarp system wear and damage can contribute to:
- Repair expenses and unplanned service
- Reduced truck availability
- Ongoing lubrication and adjustment time
- Exposure of tarp components to jobsite impacts
Over time, these issues can affect efficiency and operating consistency.
The O’Brian Diablo system was designed with features intended to address many of these common challenges.
Key Design Features of the O’Brian Diablo
Lightweight Structural Design: The Diablo system is engineered to provide strength while maintaining a relatively lightweight configuration compared to many traditional arm-style setups.
Low-Profile Arm Mounting: The arm assembly mounts below and forward of the container in many configurations, a design intended to help reduce impact exposure during operation.
Enclosed Oil-Bath Pivot System: Critical pivot components are housed within an enclosed system designed to protect internal parts from debris and environmental exposure.
Rearward Roller Positioning: Arm geometry allows the tarp roller to sit farther back in many applications, supporting improved rear coverage when properly installed and operated.
Compatible with most standard roll-off and hook-lift configurations. Fit is confirmed prior to ordering and installation.
Design Differences: Diablo vs. Many Traditional Arm-Style Systems
While tarp systems vary by manufacturer and configuration, the Diablo incorporates several distinct design approaches.
| Many Traditional Configurations | O’Brian Diablo Design |
| Exposed pivot or gear components | Enclosed oil-bath pivot system |
| Higher-profile arm positioning in some setups | Low-profile arm mounting configuration |
| Multiple lubrication points | Designed to help reduce routine lubrication requirements |
| Greater exposure of arm components | Arm positioning intended to help minimize impact exposure |
This comparison reflects general design characteristics and may vary depending on specific system models.
