The LCS Windmaster SLIDEKIT round top rolling tarp system delivers a sleek bullet-like contoured appearance that cuts through the wind and trailers behind any truck, like it is non-existent. It is the real-life resemblance of the 1800's WESTERN WAGON which delivered goods across America and now this modern-day version is rapidly populating our interstates. Its dome roof design arching 24" in height avoids any concern of roof damage should your trailer encounter excessive rains or snow in comparison to a flat roof design. Its STD 66" side and 90" OAL center height is perfect for 72" Coils or lower loads. A LCS SLIDEKIT at 90" Ht. is more fuel efficient then a 72" high flat top system.
The Windmaster SlideKit Bullet is the closest resemblance to the pioneer's original 1800's round top western wagons. Its identifiable round top starts with the front, designed with a lower robust aluminum bulkhead typically standing 48" high but available in 60", 72" & even 84" heights. The Windmaster Aerodynamic fiberglass nose fairing caps the top of the lower bulkhead rising an additional 42" making for a standard 90" OAL center height or ranging to our High Hauler heights of 126".
This model of bulkhead sits flush with the deck directly behind the neck and bolts directly to the neck for strength. Unfortunantly Man Access Doors are not available with GN Tarp Systems because of the obvious obstruction of the trailer frame.
Customized your interior bulkhead with full cargo control storage providing for easy access to all your cargo equipment from the trailer deck in order to secure your loads quickly. There are NO Standards. "You tell LCS what Works for You & We Will Do It"

Our Heavy Duty 6" C-Channel extrusion with a 1-1/4" extended, lower built-in High Impact Bump Guard safeguards against damage from side loading of forklifts. An inverted V-shaped highly precision roll formed stainless steel insert slides in and provides the perfect rolling surface for any LCS, 3" V-Groove machined steel roller.
Our rollers, with our own replaceable custom designed sealed bearings eliminates the need to replace the complete roller assembly, thus saving huge costs over the life of the system. Don't be fooled in thinking all systems have the same quantity of rollers. Infact, most systems have 2-3 times that of LCS system. A 40ft GN system as an example rolls on (24) 3" steel V-grooved wheels.
LCS High Impact Track offers the only "Patented" built in undermount attachment to slide in one of two optional aluminum extruded light bars.
• 2" Light Bar allows 1" LED bullet lights on 12", 24" or 48" centers.
• 4" Light Bar allows 2" LED round lights on 12", 24" or 48" centers.
No Bolts, Rivets or Welding so never worry about your light bar breaking loose with constant flexing of loaded trailers.
1) The LCS aluminum frame extrusion has the tarp connector grooves internal of the tubular design.
Q. Why would this be important?
A. Because when the tarp system frames come in contact with interior building doors, fence posts & gates, trees and other objects the unprotected exterior raised grooves are subject to damage. The slightest pinching of those grooves will make it very difficult in getting the tarp panels replaced easily, and cost effectively. It might even lead to the replacement cost of a new frame and panel.
2) The interior design allows LCS frames to be narrower in depth and thus an LCS system can provide up to 1" extra interior load width.
3) LCS vertical side and top frames are assembled with a 2-part interior 133-degree corner casting.
A. Primary Casting inserts into the aluminum extrusion connecting the sides and top in place.
B. Cap Casting attaches to the side and traps the tarp panel and locks it into place.
Q. Why is this design unique and important?
Because the tarp panel install or replacement doesn't require the panel to be started from the bottom and pulled up through the tight corner across and down. An LCS tarp panel starts at one top corner where it slides straight vertical, while the opposite end slides across the horizontal roof, straight vertical down on the opposite side. The Cap is then inserted over the exposed open side corner and traps the tarp panel locking it into place by torquing the provided bolts. If Down Time & Cost isn't important then this frame design is irrelevant)
4) All LCS Lower Car Frame plates are easily assembled by sliding the upper frame over a solid extruded vertical post(s) and bolting.
LCS Component Designs are built Rugged and made to Last!
• White Axillary Wheels come standard on all systems as a new upgrade now which are not required in the tracking of an LCS system but to provide assistance to the rolling performance should any of the lower car plates get side damage in its travels. It's like having insurance, you don't need it, until you do!
• Patented Lower Uplift Clips now come standard with most systems attached to lower car plates. This feature eliminates welded clips high up on the car frame like other systems that can cause tarp damage while pleating. With the different LCS Patented uplift configurations these clips allows any set up at any time. See Uplifts for further details)
A: Every system has their own version of these scissor bows with the common purpose and intent to provide tarp roof support between each rolling car frame located on 7ft -8ft centers the length of the trailer and to minimize downward tarp pleating into the loading zone while being retracted.
LCS standard uplifting tube extrusion in comparison is the heaviest duty wall thickness over all our competitors. With the open road cross winds the structural integrity of these light weight structures is vitally important and plays a big part in the future wear and replacement of your modular tarp panels.
Double Hinge Connected (HD/BC): LCS Heavy Duty / Bent Corner Step Ladder design always puts vertical roof support where its needed. All LCS uplifts are rolled form to the same arch as the rolling car frames ensuring there is water run off. Downward tarp pleating with this configuration averages 9"-12" into the loading area when pushing the system ahead. For high loads that are close to the height of the interior system and to eliminate tarp pleating that could drag over the load, the system can be pulled open vs pushed up.
SLIDEKIT Modular Frame & Uplift Systems for 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 Panel Set ups (Click to Enlarge - Adobe .pdf)
1. LNL is a simple common sense design comprising of a short barrel, a coil thread and an over-center flip down thrust nut which is easily operated with a removeable manual crank handle. A Swivel Fixed Crank Handle attached to the LNL is optional if your worried about loss.
2. LNL is conveniently bolted on the rear car plate and travels with the car frame just above the track so that it never gets lost or stolen like other system locks. Its quick and easy to replace and it can be retro-fitted to ALL Trade Marked "CONESTOGA" Models.
3. With a 23" wide robust and structurally built rear car frame combined with our railroad track and wheel design, LCS systems DO NOT require a interior structural apparatus or post to support the car frame higher up. Don't Be Fooled!
LCS transitioned in 2006 from its original 1-piece manufactured tarpaulin design to a fully segmented panel, providing the industry with the ability to respond to tarpaulin damage quickly by replacing only the sections as required. The industry has gone standard on 20oz per SQ.YD. European High Quality Tension Fabric with a urethane top coating. These materials perform incredibly well and by combination of system design and fabric choice todays rolling tarp systems resemble that of a hard side van trailer.
HIGH HAULER SYSTEMS ARE 76"-102" SIDE HT. + 24" ARCH = 100" - 126" OAL CENTER HT. ABOVE DECK
