Electric tarp

Electric tarp

I am going to ad one to my existing trailer, was wanting some opinions on which might be the best. I load dailyy with feed ingredient heaped up over the bows. Some questions I ask myself is arm, motor and /or any other pivot points strong enough to not only go up and over material but also be dependable. Was also wondering what the best gauge tarp material would be? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
