Manual Brake Crank Box

This Manual Brake Style Crank Box is designed for controlled tarp operation on manual tarp systems without spring-loaded arms. Featuring a user-engaged brake mechanism, this crank box allows the operator to manually control tarp tension and movement during operation.

Important: This crank box must NOT be used with spring-loaded tarp arms. Spring-loaded systems store significant energy and require automatic braking or friction-controlled mechanisms. Using this manual brake crank box with spring-loaded arms can result in unsafe operation, equipment damage, or personal injury.

Built from durable, heavy-duty materials, this unit is ideal for flatbed, dump, and trailer tarp applications where controlled, operator-managed braking is required.
