A deployable trailer coving system includes spaced apart guide tracks mounted on opposite sides of a flat bed trailer. Each of the guide tracks support trolley assemblies support bows for movement along the length of the trailer. The bows support a trailer covering or tarp cover to define a cargo area.

The tensioning mechanism includes a torque-indicating tensioning actuator that produces one of an audible and a tactile sensation is produced when the predetermined level of tension in the covering is reached.
