Maximize Equipment Longevity with Heavy-Duty Fitted Tarp Covers
The Failure of Standard Flat Tarpaulins
Standard, flat tarps often fail in industrial and commercial environments because they are not designed to accommodate the specific geometry of the equipment they cover. When a generic tarp is used on complex machinery or stockpiles, it creates "pockets" that collect rainwater and heavy snow, leading to structural stress and eventual leakage. Furthermore, the excess material of an un-fitted tarp flaps violently in high winds, causing abrasive wear on the equipment's finish and increasing the risk of the cover being torn away entirely. These gaps also allow wind-blown dust, pests, and moisture to infiltrate, defeating the purpose of the protective barrier.
Precision-Engineered Protection for Industrial Assets
Our fitted tarp covers provide a professional-grade, "second skin" solution designed to eliminate the vulnerabilities of generic covers. Manufactured from high-tensile, reinforced vinyl, these covers are 100% waterproof and puncture-resistant. As a versatile component of our storage covers range, each fitted tarp is custom-tailored with box-stitched corners and three-dimensional shaping to match the exact profile of your asset. This precision fit ensures that water sheds off instantly and wind cannot get underneath the material. Featuring reinforced heat-welded seams and industrial fastening options—such as stainless steel grommets, heavy-duty D-rings, or shock cords—these covers provide an airtight environmental seal that remains stable in the harshest conditions.
Critical Applications for Custom Fitted Tarps
- Industrial Machinery and Pallet Storage: Protecting precision tools, electrical panels, and bulk inventory from moisture infiltration and UV degradation during outdoor staging.
- Flatbed and Transport Protection: Securing loads during transit with a form-fitting barrier that reduces wind drag and prevents road salt or debris from damaging the cargo.
- Construction Site Equipment Defense: Shielding generators, mixers, and sensitive materials from abrasive stone dust and driving rain between shifts.
- Agricultural and Farm Utility Shielding: Providing a rugged, custom-fit cover for specialized attachments and harvesters to prevent corrosion and nesting rodent damage during the off-season.

Common Questions
Which material should I choose?
If you are trying to choose between the 18oz and 12oz vinyl materials, please choose based on your environment. For regular weather conditions, 12 oz. vinyl is a great material at a slightly less expensive price. If you are going to experience heavy weather conditions such as heavy snow, heavy rain, and lots of wind, then please choose the 18 oz. vinyl material.
What is the most common material?
The 18 ounce vinyl is used to make 90% of the covers ALCO offers. Even though both materials are equally strong and look the same, the majority of customers pick the thicker material.
Are they easy to clean?
Yes. Contrary to other polyester covers that resemble canvas, vinyl is a material that is extremely slick and is therefore simple to clean. Canvas will capture and hold mold and stains that are difficult to remove, as opposed to the sleek ALCO Vinyl custom furniture covers.
How strong are the covers?
18 oz vinyl is a very strong and long-lasting material, in fact, it is the same material that is used on the semi trailers to cover their cargo! As you can imagine, the abuse the material can endure on the highway is extreme, and if they didn't hold up, the truckers would not use them. That is why 18 oz vinyl is one of the strongest covers that you can purchase.
My cover will be used indoors. Which material is ideal?
The 600D material is the perfect material for indoors or even outdoors if its mostly in the shade and not in harsh conditions.
Common Questions
Fitted Tarp Covers – Frequently Asked Questions
What are AKON fitted tarp covers used for?
They provide a clean, tailored fit to protect commercial, marine, and industrial equipment (or furniture) from rain, snow, UV, dust, and debris during storage or downtime.
How do I choose between 12oz and 18oz vinyl?
Pick 12oz vinyl (medium duty) for typical climates and budget-friendly durability. Choose 18oz vinyl (heavy duty) for harsh weather, frequent storms, or high-abrasion environments.
Are these covers truly waterproof?
Yes. The vinyl skins are waterproof and resist soaking. For best results, avoid flat areas where water can pool; select shapes/features that encourage runoff.
How do I measure for a fitted tarp cover?
Measure the overall width (Side A), height (Side B), and depth (Side C) at their widest points. Enter exact inches—AKON adds slack on all sides except the height for a proper fit.
What shapes can you make?
We fabricate many standard geometries (A–X options shown on the page) and can accommodate irregular equipment shapes—upload a reference photo and notes in Special Request.
Can I add access points or openings?
Yes. Add cover splits so you can open a side or end for quick access without removing the full cover.
Do you offer tie-downs?
Yes. Optional tie-downs help secure the cover against wind lift and are recommended for exposed sites, rooftops, or transport moves around a facility.
How strong are the hems and seams?
Hems are reinforced and designed for long outdoor life. The construction resists tearing, fraying, and repeated handling in warehouse and yard settings.
Will vinyl crack in cold temperatures?
Our industrial-grade vinyl is engineered for outdoor service and flexes in cold weather. For extreme environments, select the heavier 18oz option.
How do I clean and care for the cover?
Wipe with mild soap and water, rinse, and air-dry. Avoid bleach, harsh solvents, and abrasive tools to preserve the finish and welded hems.
Can I customize color?
Yes. Standard colors include Black, Brown, Blue, White, Tan, Red, Navy Blue, Yellow, Olive Green, and Gray to match equipment or branding.
Can you print text or logos?
Yes. Add “Text/Image” during configuration and upload artwork. We can print warnings, asset IDs, or company logos.
What is the lead time and shipping policy?
Typical lead time is 10–12 work days after order confirmation. Shipping is free on orders over $150 (see checkout for details).
What warranties are included?
Vinyl covers include a 5-year warranty; polyester options carry a 3-year warranty when used as intended.
How is pricing calculated?
Pricing depends on your exact size, material weight (12oz vs 18oz), and selected features such as splits, tie-downs, and printing. The total updates live as you configure.
