A covering system for a container 14 transported on a vehicle involves a frame 2 on the vehicle with a sheet 20 retractable and extendible from a spool 8, the sheet 20 having an end attachable to a cover 12 (e.g. tarpaulin) for deployment over the container 14. The cover 12 is detachable with clips 22,24 to allow the container 14 to be removed from the vehicle whilst covered. A vertically aligned second spool 6 with a permanently attached cover (10, fig 1) can be used if the container remains on the vehicle. The frame 2 can extend in height. Multiple covers, or ones with different lengths or materials may be attached to the spool 6.
