21-spline design: Built around a 21-spline connection commonly used in roll tarp crank and drive systems.
Tarp crank connection: Connects the crank handle to the roll-tube drive mechanism for rotational movement.
Angular movement: Allows the crank and drive components to articulate while transferring rotational force.
Durable construction: Designed for repeated operation in demanding trailer and tarp-system environments.
Weather-resistant finish: Helps protect the component from outdoor exposure and everyday road conditions.
Replacement component: Ideal for replacing a worn, damaged, or malfunctioning U-joint in a compatible tarp system.
Tarp-system application: Suitable for maintenance and repair of compatible roll tarp and trailer tarp assemblies.
Keep your roll tarp system operating smoothly with this 21 spline U-joint, designed to connect the tarp crank handle to the roll tube drive and transfer rotational movement through the drive connection. The swiveling U-joint design allows the crank and roll tube to operate through changing angles while maintaining smooth movement during tarp operation.
A worn or damaged U-joint can make a tarp system difficult to operate and may contribute to excessive play, vibration, or inconsistent roll-tube movement. Replacing the damaged component with a properly matched tarp U-joint helps restore reliable crank-to-roll-tube operation.

A properly functioning tarp crank U-joint is essential for transferring rotational movement from the crank handle to the roll tube. If your existing U-joint is worn, damaged, or no longer operating smoothly, replacing it can help restore dependable tarp operation and make opening and closing the tarp easier.
Before ordering, verify the spline configuration and dimensions of your existing component to ensure compatibility with your tarp system.
