FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main features and benefits of the R·O·M Cargo Cover?

• Safety in preventing equipment and hose from flying off a moving vehicle.
• Security to prevent theft, protect from the elements, and fireproof the bed cover.
• Efficiency for easy access to the compartment during emergency operations.
• Compliance to NFPA Standards for hose care, compartment lighting and walk surface.

Isn’t it cheaper to use a tarp?

The initial price of a tarp may be less, but the long-term operating cost is greater than for an R·O·M Cargo Cover. Tarps require constant maintenance, they use inefficient, unreliable tie-downs, and they wear out and have to be replaced. With proper care and maintenance, your Cargo Cover can last the life of your vehicle.

Will the Cargo Cover fit my bed specs?

Each R·O·M Cargo Cover is custom-made to your exact specs. We can manufacture a door up to 226” long and 76” wide. Wider doors can be made if the roll-up door is not required to make a vertical turn; contact us for further details.

Will my compartment be water resistant?

Yes. Our roll-up door will reduce the introduction of water and other elements into the compartment, but it is not completely waterproof.

Is a Door Ajar System available?

Yes, the innovative R·O·M Door Ajar System prevents accidental loss of equipment and theft. This comes standard on R·O·M's Power Cargo Cover (Door Ajar Circuitry provided).

Is friction tape available?

Yes, friction tape is available and covers the full curtain. R·O·M's Cargo Cover is an NFPA compliant walk surface with R·O·M applied 1-3/4" friction tape.
