Bay 1
Tautliners
Curtain-sided trailers for palletised and packaged freight.
A tautliner's side curtains slide open, so loads go on and off quickly from the side or the rear, while the cargo stays covered from the weather on the road.
- Palletised and boxed goods
- Retail and wholesale stock
- Packaged building materials
- Regular, repeat deliveries
Bay 2
Flat Deck Trailers
Open decks for heavy, bulky and awkward cargo.
With no walls or roof, a flat deck can be loaded from the top and sides by crane or forklift, which makes it the practical choice for loads that won't fit in a curtain-sider.
- Machinery and equipment
- Steel, pipes and timber
- Bulky or oversized items
- Construction and industrial freight
