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. 

Key benefits

Load/unload from either side

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.

Dock or yard loading

Faced with a loading bay, the fold-back rear doors give conventional access. Meanwhile, yard loading is simple thanks to access to either side.

Weight and fuel cost savings 

A curtainsider trailer weighs less than a box trailer.

Cargo protected from the elements

The heavy-duty PVC tarpaulin curtains protect the load from the elements and are flexible enough to pull aside for access.
