A Curtainsider (sometimes referred to as a Tautliner) is a term used for a trailer, usually a flat deck, with a rigid frame above the deck with a solid roof and rear doors, and removable curtain sides secured by straps. They are often used for transporting palletised goods when protection from the elements or a basic level of security is required. The curtainsiders on our fleet are from a range of manufactures including Dennison, SDC and Montracon.
We also have Euroliner trailers (slightly lower, to fit under for EU bridges) which are the same constructions and box vans that have solid sides.
