What is a curtainsider trailer?
A curtainsider or tautliner trailer, is the generic name for a curtain sided type of trailer, Curtainsiders usually have a hard-shell roof, solid front bulkhead, conventional rear doors, and a retractable curtain along both sides.
The curtains run on top and bottom horizontal rails and cover both sides of the trailer. The heavy-duty PVC tarpaulin curtains protect the load from the elements and are flexible enough to pull aside for access.
Why a curtainsider trailer?
Curtainsider trailers ensure less time for loading and more time on the road. A plus point made possible thanks to their ability to draw back the curtains on either side of the trailer to allow access to multiple forklifts. A curtainsider trailer weighs less than a box trailer.
As every drop has its specific method of unloading, a tautliner trailer offers the best of both worlds. Faced with a loading bay, the fold-back rear doors give conventional access. Meanwhile, yard loading is simple thanks to access to either side.
For anyone offering multi-point drops, a curtainsider trailer is tailor-made to allow easy access for partial loads.
- Load/unload from either side
- Dock or yard loading
- Ease of access for multi-drop operations
- Weight and fuel cost savings
- Cargo Protected from the elements
