We are a family owned business and we bend over backwards to accommodate you. Jakob Usen Jensen is the company catalyst – he is equal parts inventor and skilled chassis mechanic. Our best innovations are patented. Because they are what set an Ecotop apart from all other hydraulic roll tarps.
Why we call it Ecotop
An Ecotop hydraulic tarp system is eco-friendly and eco-nomical. As our wind tunnel testing showed: a single trailer covered with an Ecotop roll tarp can save 10-15 tonnes in CO2 emissions yearly.
6 successes and 1 setback in Ecotop history
2018: Sales record
Most units sold in company history
2014: Setback
EU legislation dictated new length and with regulations, and it forced us to re-design all roll tarps. Now our rolling pipe sticks out only 5 centimetres of the side of the trailer, when it is closed.
2013: New patent
Patent approved on lifting system for tip trailers. The new system lifts the roll tarp free off the rear door – allowing you as much clearance as without a roll tarp.
2012: Awarded 1 million DKK by the Danish Transport Authority
For energy efficient transports. We spent the entire amount on tests and product development. Test results showed significant reduction in both diesel consumption and CO2 emission, compared to driving without an Ecotop.
2011: First patent
Patent approved on ”The tightener” – The rubber band that automatically tightens during transport, when motion compress your cargo.
1999: First Ecotop ready for use
Our very first Ecotop hydraulic trap system was fitted on a client’s trailer. He actually asked us to invent one for him – and so we did.
1996: The company stays in the family
Jakob bought the business from his uncle.
