Curtainsider trailers offer very important benefits in terms of safety and logistics of hauling all kinds of cargo:

Excellent flexibility for loading and unloading

Firstly, curtainsiders provide considerably enhanced flexibility for loading and unloading goods, ensuring that processes are as efficient as possible. As the side curtains of the trailer can be retracted with ease, this means that there is easy access from the side or from the back, which enables quick, seamless loading and unloading, helping to save time. 

Whilst with some trailers, a loading dock is a necessity, a further benefit of this flexibility is that loading bays are not always required. Goods can be loaded onto the trailer by ramp, forklift, or other means of safe lifting equipment. The ability to load and unload without loading docks can save time whilst also ensuring safety.

Improved safety and protection

Secondly, curtainside trailers offer improved safety compared to flatbed trailers. With the ability to cover and contain the load, curtainside trailers eliminate the need for time-consuming and hazardous tarping processes. This reduces the risk of accidents and injuries during transportation, creating a safer work environment for drivers and workers involved in the loading and unloading processes.

Trailer side curtains also provide security to hide cargo during transit, and act as a barrier against all elements, including rain, snow, sleet, wind and sunlight, preventing damage to the cargo.

Greater flexibility of deliveries

Another important benefit is that curtainsider trailers allow for simplified partial deliveries, allowing for various consignments to be loaded and transported in one journey, saving fuel and helping to reduce CO2 emissions. With the ability to open rear doors or retract the side curtains, goods can be loaded in such a way that parts of the cargo can easily be unloaded at one location without the need to unload the entire trailer and then reload with goods that have not yet reached their destination. This flexibility helps considerably improve overall efficiency of logistics.
