COVERING SYSTEM FOR OPEN TOP-BODIES

To get rid of the known rope-actuated operators, a covering system (MC) for an open-top top-body (12) is presented, the system comprising a plurality of centerings (15, 20) for supporting a covering tarpaulin, where every centering has two feet (99, 24) in contact with, and sliding over, the upper edge of opposite sideboards (16) of the top-body; and a rotating dragging element (52) which is mounted on a skid of a centering (20), called driving centering, and is engaged with a side of the sideboard (16) on which the driving centering rests, so that said element by rotating is able to move the centering relatively to the side.
