A cover system ( 10 ) for an open-topped container, such as a transfer trailer (T), includes a cover ( 11 ) carried by a support frame ( 13 ) pivotably mounted to the container. The support frame includes a triangular construct ( 20 ) at the opposite ends of the container to improve the rigidity of the cover system. A continuous drive shaft ( 28 ) extends along the length of the container and is connected to the support frame. A drive assembly ( 15 ) rotates the continuous drive shaft to pivot the cover between retracted and deployed positions. The drive assembly is reversible to accommodate covers mounted on either side of the container.
