    About Curtain-Side Trailers

    Curtain-side trailers, or curtainsiders, are said to have originated in Europe in part because numerous factories in the region lacked the loading docks necessary for loading traditional box trailers.

    About Curtain-Side Trailers

    Available in both semi-trailer and towable trailer bodies (the type found on this page), curtain-side trailers are said to have originated in Europe in part because numerous factories in the region lacked the loading docks necessary for loading traditional box trailers.

    2006 Lecitrailer Curtain-Side Trailer

    Unlike box trailers entirely enclosed by four walls or low loaders that are entirely open, curtain-side trailers combine these two trailer approaches. Equipped with a retractable curtain, curtain-side trailers can both protect the cargo from the various elements with the curtain closed and, with the curtain drawn back, allow for unrestricted access to the cargo for easier loading and unloading from one or both sides and the rear.

    Uses Of Curtain-Side Trailers

    Curtain-side trailers are commonly used to haul a variety of loads, including: 

    • Trees, plants, rocks, and landscaping materials
    • Fresh produce
    • Lumber, bricks, tools, windows, and other building materials
    • Paper products
    • Farm equipment and agricultural products

    Some companies offer curtain-side conversion kits for sale, and businesses can incorporate custom graphics on curtains for marketing and advertising purposes.

    Benefits Of Curtain-Side Trailers

    Beyond accelerating loading and unloading chores, curtain-side trailers can help eliminate the need to load items in a first-on, last-off approach, which enables operators to make numerous deliveries at many locations from one trailer. Curtain siders can also eliminate the need for tarping loads, as is often required with a low loader, while still accommodating oddly shaped cargo and enabling cargo on the trailer to be placed in a weight-concentrated manner for better balance.

    Curtain-side trailers can prove beneficial when hauling sensitive or valuable cargo such as chemicals, weapons, or vintage automobiles while keeping them guarded from public view. If necessary, some curtain-side trailers can convert to a low loader relatively easily.
