    Why Choose a Curtainsider?

    Curtainsider trucks, often referred to as curtainside lorries or side-access HGVs, are the industry standard for fast, efficient palletised freight and dry cargo transport. Featuring heavy-duty weatherproof PVC curtains that slide open in seconds, these versatile commercial vehicles allow for rapid side-loading and unloading via forklift or crane, as well as standard rear-door loading. Designed to protect goods from the weather while optimising turnaround times, our fleet spans from agile 7.2-tonne models to high-capacity 32-tonne rigids equipped with rear-mounted hydraulic cranes and tail lifts. Opting for Curtainsider truck hire gives fleet managers and haulage operators total operational flexibility, eliminating high upfront costs and ensuring complete compliance with routine maintenance and servicing fully included with MTR.
