Roll·Rite

What Roll·Rite does

Roll·Rite, LLC designs and manufactures automated tarp systems for commercial trucks, trailers, and roll-off containers serving the heavy-duty trucking industry. The company was founded in 1991 and is headquartered in Gladwin, Michigan, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clarience Technologies within the Safe Fleet brand network alongside Pulltarps, Rear View Safety, American Van, and Van Go Tarps. Its product portfolio spans three platform categories (Truck, Trailer, Roll-Off) covered by the TarpMaster, Super Duty, STS Lock Down, Power Cable, ALC DB, DC, and ALC300 series, each addressing specific duty cycles, body lengths up to 53+ feet, and operator preferences (electric gear motor, hydraulic, or cable-driven systems). Underlying technology includes proprietary Rite-Lock double-knuckle arms, TarpStretcher amp-sensing gear motors, TORC pivot, MultiFlex rear cable arms, and wireless remote controls that allow in-cab or ground-level operation to keep drivers away from load debris. Tarps are offered in mesh, vinyl, and asphalt-rated fabrics with the Rapid Tarps program enabling same-day shipping on replacement orders.

Roll·Rite monetizes primarily through one-time hardware sales of automated tarp systems sold via a quote-based, custom-specification model through hundreds of authorized dealers, complemented by a transactional aftermarket in replacement tarps, parts, and components sold both through dealers and direct e-commerce. Power & Safety Solutions (Rear View Safety cameras, motors, hydraulic pumps, and power conversion kits) extend the basket into adjacent safety and retrofit use cases. Revenue stream mix spans Tarp System Sales (one-time license/equipment), Replacement Tarps (hardware sales via Rapid Tarps), Parts and Components (hardware sales), and Safety and Power Solutions (hardware sales).

The company serves four primary vertical segments commonly grouped as C.A.R.R. (Construction, Agriculture, Refuse, Recycling), addressing fleet operators, municipal services, aggregate producers, waste haulers, scrap recyclers, and OEMs that integrate systems at first-fit. Distribution is omnichannel: an authorized dealer network across the United States, company-affiliated service centers in Henderson CO, Torrington CT, Louisville OH, and Houston TX, direct e-commerce at rollrite.com, and international distribution across Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, and the United Kingdom through country-specific websites.
