Beyond Tarps: A Better Covered Flatbed Solution
Wrapping oversized and sensitive cargo for transport is one of the trickiest transport needs. Traditional tarps can flap, tear, and leak, even when they’ve been tied down. There’s a better way to cover loads on flatbeds securely, preventing cargo damage while facilitating fuel savings, customer satisfaction, and regulatory compliance. It’s time to ditch ineffective flatbed trailer covers in favor of professionally deployed shrink wrap for transport.
At Shrink Wrap Pros, we provide on-site installation of heavy-duty shrink wrap that outperforms traditional tarping. Shrink wrap is a superior freight protection method with a custom-fitted, drum-tight seal that won’t flap or tear at highway speeds.

The Advantages of Using Shrink Wrap for Shipping Protection Nationwide
Whether you’re in need of pallet shrink wrapping (industrial) or covers that can accommodate oversized freight such as vehicles and modular homes, you need to protect your cargo from the harsh conditions that can arise during transit: high speeds, sustained exposure to the elements, and other potential sources of damage.

We’re used to protecting extremely sensitive equipment of all kinds. With our capacity to provide oversized load cover regardless of an asset’s shape or size, no cargo is too big for our shrink wrap services. Whatever you’re transporting, we’ve got it covered.
Form-Fitting Shrink Wrap Protects Better Than a Covered Flatbed Trailer
If you’ve been relying on traditional flatbed trailer covers to protect your cargo, our professional shrink wrap for transport services will change the way you do business. Our durable transportation protection solutions shield cargo and vehicles from the weather much more effectively than tarps that can flap, leak, and even blow off entirely.
- Form-fitting protection that doesn’t rely on straps, ties, and buckles ensures a drum-tight seal to keep moisture, wind, and rodents out.
- Our industrial-thickness wraps are made from durable plastic that is laboratory-proven to be waterproof, weatherproof, UV-resistant, and flame-retardant.
- Through our proprietary methods, we achieve 25% bidirectional constriction that transforms the plastic film covering into a hard yet flexible surface that’s reminiscent of a trampoline.
There’s no better way to secure equipment and protect cargo during shipping than using our heavy-duty shrink wrap. Whether you’re transporting assets by land, air, or sea, our shrink wrap for shipping solutions preserve what matters.
Shrink Wrap Pros Makes Transit Protection Easy With Our Logistics Partnerships
When you’re overseeing a project that involves a lot of moving parts, you need to partner with a cargo protection wrap provider who makes things easier, not harder.
At Shrink Wrap Pros, we’re used to working directly with freight companies, movers, and logistics firms to support their efforts in freight forwarding and in crating and wrapping. Our services are particularly valuable for projects that require oversized load cover or durable protection of sensitive equipment and assets.
Some of the biggest logistics companies operating nationwide trust our team to handle the wrapping and crating of oversized industrial equipment quickly and professionally. Shrink Wrap Pros has established and ongoing relationships with countless transportation and shipping container companies that utilize our services for the protected transportation of autos, aircraft, spacecraft, boats, prebuilt buildings, containers, and more.
Our on-site services offer a convenient way to protect everything you’re shipping, and our experienced mobile team consistently delivers clean, mess-free installation.
How Shrink Wrap Pros Can Help Prevent Damage to Cargo During Shipping
Shrink Wrap Pros provides shrink wrap for transportation both domestically and overseas. We offer solutions such as full export-compliant wrapping using corrosion-resistant materials that prevent rust and deterioration even when exposed to saltwater during ocean freight.
We’re prepared to protect anything you need to ship, from drilling rigs that require shrink wrapping for cross-country moves to huge industrial printers for export and even sensitive aerospace components for cross-country flatbed hauls. We can shrink wrap entire modular home units for transport. Whether you need to ship an antique car or a yacht hull, our transportation shrink wrap ensures it arrives in perfect condition.
Compliance, Cost Savings, and Protection Against Shipping Hazards
Shrink wrap is a valuable method of preserving the safety of any assets, but we find that it offers particular benefits when used during transportation.
By providing a custom oversized load cover that won’t come loose like tarps, our service meets Department of Transportation requirements for covering oversize loads.
Our services can also save you money in more ways than one. Flapping tarps create wind drag during highway transportation, but our form-fitting covers reduce wind drag, facilitating fuel savings. Additionally, damage claims can cost shipping companies considerably, undermining their profits. Swapping traditional tarps and flatbed covers for shrink wrap can save you thousands of dollars in potential claims. Our shrink wrap covers won’t budge, even at highway speeds that can shred a tarp. That means avoiding costly damage and lost cargo.
Even the most expensive tarp you could invest in can’t compete with the compliance with DOT regulations, cost savings, and protective elements that our transportation shrink wrap provides.

Frequently Asked Questions About Transportation Shrink Wrap Solutions
What makes shrink wrap covers a better choice than tarps or traditional covered flatbed solutions?
Simply put, our transportation shrink wrapping ensures a more secure fit than tarps or flatbed covers, and that means more comprehensive protection. Straps and ties can come loose, especially when exposed to high-speed winds during travel or harsh weather conditions. Even buckles on a flatbed trailer cover can fail when exposed to wind, storms, and other environmental conditions.
By heat-sealing our industrial-strength plastic film to achieve a drum-tight fit and effective constriction, we create a form-fitting wrap that won’t flap in the wind or fly off. The hard but flexible surface is even rodent-proof, preventing critters from finding their way into assets and nesting in them during long journeys.
How does mobile deployment work at Shrink Wrap Pros?
Our mobile team comes to you to professionally install asset protection covers. Once we arrive on-site, we carefully prepare the cargo to be wrapped, applying padding as needed to avoid punctures or tears that would weaken the protective cover. We quickly and professionally deploy our wraps, customized to the size and shape of the individual project.
Through our proprietary sealing methods, we transform the cover into a form-fitting, hard yet flexible surface that provides exceptional protection, even against the potentially damaging exposures that can occur during the shipping process.
Does Shrink Wrap Pros provide shrink wrap for shipping in my area?
Yes, our company offers nationwide service to support your shipping protection needs. We’re willing to travel nationally and even internationally to provide the specialized services our clients in the transportation sector depend on to protect their freight and avoid damage due to weather and road debris, traveling speeds, wind and sun exposure, and more.
Will shrink wrapping cargo slow down our shipping process?
Absolutely not. We understand the urgency of getting cargo to the destination on time, and we provide freight shrink wrap services with quick turnaround times and flexible scheduling to accommodate your timeline. Our on-site installation is fast and professional. Once heat-sealed with our proprietary methods, our covers cool within minutes, allowing you to implement cargo shrink wrap solutions and get on the road without delay.
