TIR cable for customs-sealed truck tarpaulins and curtainsiders is the core of this category, available with steel wire or as PVC coated nylon, with or without cable end. Alongside it we stock elastic shock cord, also known as bungee cord, in polyethylene and polyester, including a nautical shock cord for boat covers, plus flat elastic, polyester cord and three-strand polyester rope. Truck tarpaulin workshops and sailmakers source the whole range from us, most of it held in stock.
TIR cable with steel wire, with or without cable end, is used to close customs-sealed tarpaulins on trucks, trailers and curtainsiders; the PVC coated nylon version is used for the same application. Shock cord and flat elastic keep tarpaulins, boat covers and awnings under tension. Polyester cord and three-strand polyester rope go into tensile structures, air-supported structures and the transport sector.
