INDIANAPOLIS, IN – / N2N / – Aero Industries will showcase its Conestoga 2 DT Drop Deck rolling tarp system at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS), March 25-27, 2010, where the DT model will be on display. The unit operates by fully transitioning the rolling tarp system onto the drop deck trailer’s top deck. Aero also offers a DL model which fully transitions to the bottom deck of a drop deck trailer. Staff from the international leader in tarp systems and trailer accessories will be demonstrating how their Conestoga 2 can be used in other applications at the country’s largest trucking show held annually in Louisville, KY.

Conestoga 2 models offer enhanced features to Aero’s original model. Those features include the next generation of front and rear locks, a panelized tarp with no visible seams, a smooth sleek bulkhead with corner lights, redesigned uplift bows with “shock absorbers,” and a new bottom tarp seal. All applications for the Conestoga 2 boasts the industry’s best steel wheels on a stainless steel track for maximum durability and ease of rolling, and the patented DOT-rated bulkhead – the only bulkhead product that meets both U.S. Department of Transportation width regulation 23 CFR 658.16(b)(2)(iv) and standard 393.114(c)(2) for loads up to 50,000 lbs. The patented panelized tarp, combined with the mechanism’s design and workmanship, ensures years of reliable service with minimal maintenance and upkeep.

“Customers have been asking for a drop deck version of the Conestoga 2. We refer to Conestoga 2 as a second-generation product because it maintains all of the functionality of the original Conestoga but with added features, advantages, and benefits that translate into a better, easier to operate and safer system for the driver,” said Alan Briley, VP of Sales and Marketing at Aero Industries. “And, it’s the best looking sliding tarp product on the road.”

Other features present in all Conestoga 2 models:

A sleek bulkhead that is aerodynamically designed to reduce drag and increase fuel efficiency
A wheel and track system that eliminates costly unscheduled downtime and maintenance
A patented built-in bump rail that protects the track from forklifts and other loading hazards and automatically seals the tarp
Rear and front locks that are operated from the ground, meaning no more climbing on the trailer, allowing for greater safety and efficiency
