Tautliner Trucks And Trailers Available


Tautliners, or curtain-sided trailers, are specialized commercial vehicles featuring flexible, high-strength PVC curtains on a flatbed chassis, allowing for rapid side-loading and unloading while protecting cargo from weather and theft. They enable efficient, secure transport with quick turnaround times for palletized or bulky goods, often used in combinations like superlinks and interlinks.

Key Features and Components:
  • Curtains: Typically high-quality, UV-resistant, and durable PVC curtains (often 800g-900GSM) that can be tightened to keep the load secure.
  • Structure: Engineered with a rigid roof, front wall, and rear doors, paired with side curtains on runners for easy opening.
  • Chassis: High-strength steel chassis designed for heavy-duty, long-distance hauling.
  • Loading: Allows forklift access along the entire length of the trailer, unlike traditional box trailers, which often limit access to the rear.
  • Customization: Curtains can be branded with digital printing to serve as "moving billboards".

Common Applications:
  • Tautliners are ideal for industries requiring fast, versatile loading and protection from the elements, including transporting palletized freight, raw materials, and consumer goods.
  • Superlinks/Interlinks: Often used for maximum capacity (e.g., 34.6-ton payload).
  • Tri-Axle: A common single-trailer configuration.

Tautliner Industry in South Africa:
  • Availability: We stock and source a wide variety of tautliner trucks and trailers from reputable manufacturers, offering customized solutions for increased loading efficiency, including options with lifting roofs.
  • Market: New and used options are widely available in South Africa.

Advantages over Traditional Trailers:
  • Efficiency: Drastically reduces loading and unloading times.
  • Versatility: Combines the fast loading of a flatbed with the weather protection of a box trailer.
  • Security: Curtains can be locked to deter theft.
