Tarpaulin protection devices

A vehicle container movable by a vehicle, the vehicle container comprising:

• a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly therefrom, the peripheral wall being terminated opposed the bottom wall by a peripheral wall top edge delimiting a container top aperture, the peripheral wall defining a wall rear end located at a rear of the container when the container is moved by the vehicle;
• a tarpaulin movable between extended and retracted configurations, wherein, in the extended configuration, the tarpaulin is mounted to the container extending across the container top aperture, and in the retracted configuration, the tarpaulin is withdrawn from at least part of the container top aperture to allow access to the container, the tarpaulin defining a tarpaulin rear end edge;
• and
• a flutter reducer operatively coupled to the tarpaulin so that when the tarpaulin is in the extended configuration and the container is moved by the vehicle, the flutter reducer limits movements of the tarpaulin at the tarpaulin rear end edge to reduce flutter due to relative wind caused by movement through air of the covered vehicle container, wherein the flutter reducer includes a support member mounted to the container peripheral wall at the wall rear end and reaching above the peripheral wall top edge, the support member defining an apex, the tarpaulin abutting against the support member at the apex in the tarpaulin extended configuration.
