RHYMEAG gearbox:
ATA control system
Born from over 25 years of industry experience, the RHYMEAG gearbox was designed to solve the toughest safety and performance challenges in heavy-duty tarping.
Manufactured in Sydney, RHYMEAG delivers superior torque, longer service life, and smoother, safer operation.
Why RHYMEAG?
Australian-designed, Australian-built
Designed by Air Tarps' founder Malcolm and manufactured locally to meet the harshest conditions.
Safety first
Eliminates the need to climb to operate an overide at shaft unlike other popular systems.
High-torque performance
90:1 gear train delivers exceptional pulling power making sure your tarp is tight for secure loads and improved aero-dynamics.
Dependability
Aluminium billet casing, weatherproof housing, and replaceable parts — no need to replace the whole unit.
Proven in the field
Developed and tested in Australia’s strictest construction and carting environments.
Precision engineering that works harder
CAD precision – Every gearbox is cut and assembled to exacting standards.
90:1 torque ratio – Provides maximum pulling strength for even the heaviest loads.
Aluminium billet housing – Lightweight, yet built for strength and weather resistance.
Maintenance-free design – Reliable operation with minimal servicing required.
Manual override system – Operate the tarp manually using a single spanner if needed, keeping you compliant and on schedule.
Why choose RHYMEAG over traditional systems?
Feature | RHYMEAG Gearbox | Standard electric motor |
|---|---|---|
Torque | High-torque 90:1 gear ratio | Lower torque resulting in less tight tarps |
Housing | Aluminium billet, weatherproof | Die-cast aluminium |
Safety | Ground-level manual override | Manual override requires unsafe climbing |
Service | Replaceable components | Often requires full unit replacement |
No battery & charger | Combined with Superwinch motors and not reliant on a battery or charger. | Often relies on batteries and chargers which introduces more points of failure. |
Engineered for demanding tarping applications
The RHYMEAG gearbox is purpose-built for front-to-back retractable tarps in:
-
Civil and construction fleets
-
Quarry and demolition transport
-
Waste haulage and compliance-heavy industries
-
Any operator needing reliable, heavy-duty tarping with a safety-first design
