A vehicular apparatus (1) for transporting bulk goods comprises an elongate transport container (2) having an open top side (10). A sheeting cover (4) is movable over the open top. An extension mechanism (50) has a first actuator (52) that extends the cover by pulling on a cable linkage (51). A retraction mechanism (80) has a second actuator (80) that retracts the cover by rotating a central pole to wrap the cover around the pole. The first actuator (52) and a proximal portion (53) of the cable linkage (51) are beneath the floor (6) of the container (2) and a section of cable linkage (51') is routed vertically across the side wall (13) of the container. The first actuator (52) comprises at least one first quick-release mechanism (76) such that its piston is free to move under an externally applied force, and the second actuator (81) comprises a second quick-release mechanism (77) such that the centre pole is free to rotate under an externally applied force, whereby manual movement of said cover (4) is facilitated when said section (51') of cable linkage is manually pulled downwards.
