Curtainside Trailer Hire

Aberdeen, Dundee, Scotland

Why Choose a Curtainsider?

Curtainsider trailers are a staple in the haulage transport industry, especially in areas across the country or region that are often hit with wind, rain or other forms of harsh weather. 

These trailers can help us transport goods that need plenty of protection from the elements. Michael Gall Transport Limited, offers a vast selection of choices when it comes to triaxle, tandem axles and straight frame curtain siders. 

These are trailers available to our customers and clientele in numerous heights, beginning at 4.0m and gradually increasing in posted and postless designs for the roofing. 

If you are searching for a variety of bespoke fleet options for loading operations, our services can also provide Euroliner trailers with unique sliding roofs. 

An Overview

A curtain trailer or van is typically a flatbed with upper structures installed, acting as a tarping system. 

We currently know of two types of curtain side vans in the industry: the Tautliner and the Conestoga. 

Each flatbed trailer gets covered with either a curtain or tarp system that professionals can move out of the way for quicker and more efficient use. It offers faster access to the trailer in case of filling freight.    

Versatility Where You Need It 

When you have the curtain of the vehicle pulled back, it gives you greater access to the bed from all three sides, and this assists you with loading or unloading the stock or package boxes inside with ease. 

You can also unload it speedily from each side using ground-level forklifts in areas where open docks are not an option. 

No Job too Odd

Our registered professionals also conveniently access the inside of these vehicles if your load or packages are not odd-shaped with flexible dimensions or abnormally oversized. 

The wide range of flexibility allows you to broaden your options for delivery and shipping to different addresses without the need to go through traditional filling centres.   

Keeping Your Stock Safe

Much like with flatbeds, our staff can securely and safely place the packages or loads of products you haul onto the curtain side van or trailer to the trailer's deck. 

Once this is done, the curtains get closed securely, which helps prevent the load from shifting inside whilst driven down winding roads or motorways.

Speedy Load/Unload  

You can access the trailer from all sides after the curtains have been pulled back, and you may access the rear door with multiple forklifts all at once. 

It makes the journey swift as your drivers can get in and out and return the road. If your company requires a comprehensive supply of things, we would be able to do so on a weekly basis, using this method of transportation.    

Simplified Partial Deliveries   

There are few limitations concerning the first on-last off manner of loading. 

The independent access that curtain sider trailers offer our staff during any route or long-term journey means that they can contract and drop off multiple loads in a feasible way for a single trailer.   

Perfect for Agriculture

The carefully enclosed environment that the curtains offer was also designed to make it possible for vegetables, fruits, and other food supplies to be hauled safely and securely in a timely fashion. 

The dehydration that can often come from wind and rain damage makes the curtain sider the most suitable option for food and other goods.

Reliable and Well Maintained

We ensure that our high-quality trailers receive frequent maintenance so that their components are up-to-date and will rarely experience a breakdown. 

We can assure you they will never be a danger on the lanes or disrupt a commercial load or parcel from being delivered.
