Industrial Covers

Heavy duty, weather-tight shrink wrap industrial covers for transport & storage protection of machinery, equipment

Why Use Rhino Shrink Wrap® Industrial Covers?

Traditionally, tarpaulins have been used to protect large equipment and machinery during outdoor transport or storage, but their loose fit often causes flapping, chafing, and eventual wear, potentially damaging the covered items.

Storage Protection

Rhino Shrink Wrap® industrial covers create a tough, weatherproof barrier that shields stored machinery, equipment, and industrial products from the elements. For added versatility, these covers can be customized with air vents, inspection hatches, and access points for lifting.

Transport Protection

Unlike traditional tarpaulins secured with ratchet straps, Rhino Shrink Wrap® covers are heat-shrunk to form a “drum tight” fit. This eliminates flapping and chafing, even at high motorway speeds, ensuring maximum protection during transit.

Professional Appearance

Shrink wrap covers deliver a clean, streamlined finish that hugs the contours of your equipment. This tidy, professional look not only safeguards your product but also enhances your business’s reputation on site and on the move.

How Do Shrink Wrap Industrial Covers Work?

Traditionally, large equipment and machinery have been protected from weather damage during transport or outdoor storage using tarpaulins. But tarpaulins often struggle to fit securely, leading to flapping and chafing that can damage the covered items.

Shrink wrap industrial covers offer a superior solution. By using heat to shrink the material “drum tight,” shrink wrap creates a snug, secure fit that doesn’t flap or degrade in high winds. The heat-welded seams ensure a completely sealed cocoon, providing robust, long-lasting protection for your valuable machinery & equipment.

When it’s time to remove the cover, shrink wrap industrial covers are quick and easy to remove — and 100% recyclable, making them environmentally friendly choice.
