The invention relates to a tarpaulin suspension device having a base plate (2) on which are provided at least one connecting device (4) for a tarpaulin and at least two support rollers (3) which can be displaced along a longitudinal carrier of a cover frame for a tarpaulin structure. An improved tarpaulin suspension device which can be operated easily and reliably is devised, according to the invention, in that at least one guide roller (8), which is perpendicular to the support rollers (3), is mounted on a narrow side (2S) of the base plate (2).
