Does it lift off as one unit fairly easily?

We remove the back arch at moment. Arch at front limits loading too though.

How does front arch limit loading? It’s only about 10” wide, when the sheet is rolled up it lifts off fine, just tie some string around the ends and the pulling strap around the middle to stop it unrolling and lift off, just remember which end is front and what side you lifted it off from so you can put it back on the right way around

I fitted a (proper) rollover sheet to a neighbour’s Richard Western trailer about a year ago. They are a Godsend.

One of those things that you struggle to imagine how you managed without them.

Just one thing though - make sure you put the back strap in front of the tailgate hinge to avoid any chance of it snapping that strap if you accidentally open the tailgate with the sheet still closed over the load.

Has anyone come up with a design of roll over sheet that stays covered while tipping with a hyd door?

I made 1 for our 12t Marshall a few years ago, just had to remember and tuck the strap behind the arm of the door, but it got badly damaged last year in an accident and have had it replaced with a Marshall made 1 on the insurance, also our Stewart 14t has a sheet that you can open back door with sheet covering trailer, the back arch sits slightly forward of back door with a flat bit up to door then a rubber strip attached to top of door comes down onto the flat plate to make the seal when door is shut, I would think all the other manufacturers will be similar

A friend of mine tipped a load while the sheet was still covered on his Smyth trailer, it ended up creating a vacuum and sucking the Perspex sheet out the front smashing into a million pieces
