Italian tarpaulin manufacturer Cramaro is planning to invest in India by setting up a joint venture with KailashVahan for manufacturing curtain siders and tarpaulins. In 2008, Cramaro entered into a technical tie-up with KailashVahanUdyog Private Ltd. for supplying tarps for trailers and tippers in India. This relationship has progressed well and the company has already sold over 100 units of Curtain siders in India so far.
Kailash-Cramaro started working with Tata Motors for offering solutions for the Prima truck range and today the company is working with many of the Indian OEMs including Ashok Leyland and end customers directly. The company is hoping to bag orders for another 700 to 800 trailers in the next couple of months.
The success in the Indian market has encouraged Cramaro to invest in a joint venture with KailashVahan. Kailash-Cramaro have also started localizing some of the components and identified local suppliers including tarps.
The Tarp-All solution has been specifically designed keeping in mind the ease of use, convenience of the operator and the tough Indian road conditions. With strong steel structure, smooth steel rails and 650 gsm tarpaulin cover, it is a perfect product for Indian markets.
Moreover with rear extendable arms and encumbrance of only 2.1 mt, the Tarp-All allows easy and quickloading/unloading without any hindrance and provides flexibility of haulage on the return trip. In addition, the entire system can be moved to the front or rear or anywhere on the trailer, thus ensuring ease and flexibility of loading along the length of the trailer. The entire system can be easily handled by a single operator.
KailashCramaro tarpaulin system is suited for covered transport of foodgrains, steel coils, asphalt, sand, cement, iron ore, etc. It can be supplied according to the trailer length and truck body dimensions. The customer will also have a choice of colors.
