Abstract
A mobile taping system has a framework with a base section and a height adjustable main section connected to a cradle support. A rolled up tarp within the cradle support, can be unrolled and retracted by a spring-loaded roll-out and retraction assembly or a manual crank for covering the open container. The system is separate and independent from the container. Wheels extending from the base section permit the mobile tuning system to be transported between various containers, when a given container is filled with loose debris and must be covered.

A mobile tarping system for covering an open refuse container, the system being an independent, stand alone unit, consisting solely of a framework assembly, a tarp for covering the top of the container, and a support cradle for storing the tarp in a rolled up configuration and for maintaining the tarp in an unrolled configuration to cover the top of the container, said cradle comprising means for unrolling the tarp to cover the top of the container and for rolling the tarp up into the cradle;
- said framework assembly comprising:
- a base section having forwardly extending arms and rearwardly extending arms for stabilizing the base section and transport means located on both the forwardly and rearwardly extending arms for moving the entire system towards a container to position the forwardly extending arms underneath the container and for moving the system away from the container, such that the system is completely separate from and independent of the container;
- and
- a main section extending up from the base section, the main section being connected and substantially perpendicular to the base, said main section comprising telescoping framing members and means to adjust the height of the main section by raising and lowering one of the framing members, said adjusting means being located between the framing members, the framework assembly and support cradle comprising an independent, self-supporting, stand alone member, unattached to and separate from any other structure.
