Prime Flat Equipment provides end-to-end Conestoga solutions at our Plainfield, IL facility. Whether you are an owner-operator or managing a large company fleet, our expert team handles the sales, precision installation, and long-term maintenance of rolling tarp systems.

The Hybrid Solution: Best of Both Worlds
A Conestoga system transforms your standard flatbed into a high-performance hybrid. You get the versatile loading capabilities of a flatbed (side-loading or crane-loading) combined with the weatherproof security of a dry van.
Why Make the Investment?
While the upfront cost is higher than traditional tarps, the long-term ROI is undeniable:

  • Time is Money: Open or close your entire system in under 2 minutes. Eliminate the hour-long struggle with heavy, 100-lb tarps.

  • Driver Safety: Significantly reduce the risk of falls or back injuries. No more throwing tarps in high winds, rain, or snow.

  • Cargo Integrity: Zero risk of crushing delicate cargo with tie-down pressure. Perfect for high-value lumber, specialized metals, and paper products.

  • Premium Rates: Brokers and shippers pay more for premium equipment that guarantees cargo arrives dry and debris-free.

Specifications & Limitations
To ensure you choose the right equipment for your business, consider these factors:

  • Oversized Loads: Since the system frame is fixed, you cannot haul loads that exceed the trailer’s width or height.

  • Weight Capacity: We recommend staying within the 44,000 lbs range to maintain the integrity of the mechanical rail system. Always refer to your specific system's rating.

Expert Installations & Shop Services
At Prime Flat Equipment, we go beyond tarp systems. Our facility is equipped with certified welders and technicians to handle:

  • Cab Racks & Toolboxes: Professional mounting for maximum durability and accessibility.

  • Maintenance & Repairs: We service rail alignments, replace bearings, and repair damaged tarp panels to keep you rolling.
