900 GSM Truck Tarpaulin — Heavy-duty + export
900 g/m² PVC-coated polyester (PCP) tarpaulin, custom-cut for oversized loads, coastal sindh / balochistan, overland export. The fabric weight fleet operators step up to once they have one tarp fail mid-route on an export run. The marginal cost over 680 GSM is paid back inside two years of avoided replacements.
Where 900 GSM is the right call.
Oversized and project cargo
OOG (out-of-gauge) machinery, wind turbine sections, generator sets. Carriers cannot afford to re-tarp at intermediate stops.
Coastal Sindh / Balochistan operations
Karachi port, Gwadar, Pasni, Ormara. UV and salt cut the life of lighter tarps by 30–40%; 900 GSM offsets the climate penalty.
Overland export to Iran and Central Asia
Khorgos, Dostyk, Tehran, Tashkent, Baku corridors. Cross-border transit under varied climate; no time to retarp mid-route.
Agricultural cover (heavy-duty)
Long-term covered storage in open yards — fodder bales, fertiliser stacks, palletised cement.
