POWAIR Auto-Locks: Ground-controlled air locks starts with our cylinder mount low in the bulkhead to ensure locks do not open in the event of loss of air. DS & CS vertical slide pins lock down and pull up when opened. Air Control Switch is conveniently mounted on DS front corner underneath BH.
LCS offers the only rear mounted air control switch allowing for operator to unlock front car frame and pull the tarp system to the rear of the trailer while standing at the rear.
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 come with our own replaceable custom designed sealed bearings eliminating the need to replace the complete roller assembly saving huge costs over the life of the system. Don't be fooled in thinking all systems have the same quantity of rollers. They don't, as most systems average between 56 - 74 wheels. A 53ft LCS systems tracks on 28 required steel wheels. SOME 53FT SYSTEMS HAVE (96) WHEELS, WOW. $$$$$
LCS 83ft Super Transporter 10 panel system rolls on only (44) -3" V-Groove Steel 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 90 degree square 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!
STAM - "Slack Tarp Adjusting Mechanism" is a unique fine tune tarp tensioning feature built into the rear car frame and is standard on most Super Transporter Systems. With this feature the tarp can be fine tune adjusted beyond the systems Loc'N-Load tensioning mechanism.
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 is free standing and always puts vertical roof support where its needed. No straps or pockets required to hold this uplift to the roof. All LCS uplifts have a rolled form 1" arch to center above the rolling car frames to ensure there is water run off. Downward tarp pleating with this configuration averages 9"-12" in to the loading area when pushing the system ahead.
LCS patented lower car plate design with uplift hinge brackets allows for the purchase of double hinge uplits, 4 lifter (Quad) uplifts and our 6 lifter (Hex) uplift at any time without welding uplift clips to the car plate. If your initial intent is not maximum load space but that happens to change down the road, you will be so happy you purchased a LCS Rolling Tarp System. (We are the innovators in the industry!)
4 Lifter (Quad) Uplifts: Designed to reduce tarp pleating to 6" while adding additional cross wind side support to tarp panels.
LCS Engineering always ensure minimum tarp pleating preventing drag over the interior load
6 Lifter (Hex) Uplifts (Patented): Designed to reduce tarp roof pleating to 4"-5" while adding max cross wind side support. However, the real advantage is the noticeable reduction of the interior side wall tarp pleating giving you maximum width to haul the squarest interior loads possible & reducing tarp drag by 95%.
If a round top tarp system is more suited to your load covering requirements LCS has you covered as well.
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!
Loc'N-Load "A-Frames" Option:
LCS has made available our new patent pending LNL A-Frame designed specifically for our Specialized High Hauler Systems or those fleet or owner operators that still prefer an interior support structure higher up on the rear car frame.
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.
LCS welds STD on all panels 12" Reinforcement in top corner the full length DS & CS.
Q: Why is this important and our competitors don't include it?
A: One of the most vunerable areas on rolling tarp systems going down the road is the wind pressure being exerted in the top corners of the panels that can lead to wind whipping or spyder cracking. The weight of the double material in the form of a reinforcement eliminates this is and ensures uplift bows don't wear through the panel in the corners. And, LCS has an automatic welding machine built specifically to install the reinforcements in only minutes.
All LCS panels come STD with a weldable PVC cargo belting located along our track at the deck level to ensure our panels are protected with the 2nd most damaging wind pressure exerted on a traveling rolling tarp system
LCS rolling tarp systems come STD w/ a ground level roll up rear crank flap allowing for quick & easy access into the trailers interior.
Rear Flap Securement
• LCS has 3 main options for gaining access to the rear of the trailer. 1. Crank up flap. - 2. Pulley & Rope - 3. Combination of both.
• Our 4" Wide Over-center Velcro Side Wings are STD with our own developed Shock Cord for quick, simple securement.
Sometimes you simply must get creative with designs, like Combination Swing Rear Doors & Pull Up Flap
