Curtainside Trailer

TWL Curtainside Trailers—also known as tautliner trailers—combine the protection of a dry van with the flexibility of a flatbed. Built with a solid front wall, aluminum roof, swing-open rear doors, and heavy-duty retractable side curtains, they provide fast, forklift-friendly side and rear loading. These trailers are designed for shippers needing fast access and weather-protected transport, particularly in industries requiring frequent load/unload cycles. With options in 48ft and 53ft lengths, TWL Curtainside Trailers offer high payload capacity and efficient cargo handling across various transport applications.
