Electric Tarp Gear Motor 900W
This electric tarp gear motor is built for trucks and trailers that need powered cover operation. It suits fleet operators and owner-drivers who want a single high-torque unit to open and close a tarp without manual cranking. The bi-directional rotation handles both deploy and retract cycles from one motor.
Installation notes and common issues
The motor bolts to the existing tarp system framework and connects to the vehicle electrical supply for 900W operation. A frequent issue is under-sized wiring or weak battery voltage causing the motor to stall under load. The 60:1 gear ratio multiplies torque but reduces speed, so the system moves steadily rather than quickly. No wind deflector is included, so add one separately if required.
Deciding specification — 60:1 gear ratio
The 60:1 gear ratio is the single figure that determines whether this motor matches the tarp size and spring tension on your unit. A higher ratio gives more pulling force at slower travel; a lower ratio moves faster but with less torque. Match the ratio to the original specification or the manufacturer's recommendation for your specific tarp assembly.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 900 W motor is running correctly after installation?
The bi-directional rotation should engage smoothly in both directions when the control switch is operated, and the 60:1 gear ratio will move the tarp at a steady, controlled speed without stalling.
What components are included with the 5541065 electric tarp motor and what must be purchased separately?
The package contains the high-torque gear motor unit in black and silver; mounting hardware, wiring harness, control switch and wind deflector are not included and must be sourced separately.
Which specification should I match when selecting the correct version of this tarp motor for my system?
Choose the model with a 60:1 gear ratio and 900 W power rating to match the torque and speed requirements of your existing electric tarp system.
