What is a Tautliner?
A Tautliner, also known as a curtain-side trailer, is one of the most commonly used trailers in the transport sector. This is also true for Easy Road Transport. Thanks to the curtains on the sides, you can load and unload goods quickly and easily. This makes the Tautliner ideal for companies looking to transport freight efficiently and safely by road.
The Tautliner excels in accessibility and flexibility. You can open the curtains completely, making loading and unloading simple, even in tight spaces. Additionally, the curtains protect your cargo from rain and wind, ensuring your goods always arrive dry and safe. Whether you are transporting pallets, construction materials, or machinery, a Tautliner is the reliable solution. From curtain-side trailers to six-cylinder trucks: a Tautliner fits perfectly into any logistical operation!
What do you use a Tautliner for?
Tautliners are versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications. In retail, for example, they are used to transport large quantities of products to shops and distribution centers. In the construction sector, they are ideal for transporting heavy materials such as wood, steel, and other building supplies. A Tautliner is also useful in agriculture, for instance, for transporting crops. Thanks to its high payload capacity, a curtain-side trailer can handle many different types of freight.
What you need to know about a Tautliner
When choosing a Tautliner, there are a few important factors to consider. The length of the trailer usually varies between 13.6 and 15 meters. The payload capacity can reach up to 25 tons, depending on the model. Modern Tautliners often come standard with ABS (anti-lock braking system), which increases safety. Extra options such as power steering or an extra-sturdy chassis are available as custom solutions. This allows you to configure a model that perfectly matches your logistical needs.

How to choose the right Tautliner
When choosing a Tautliner, it is wise to look closely at your specific requirements. Will you be transporting heavy or bulky goods?

Then pay attention to the dimensions of the trailer. At Easy Road Transport, we primarily drive to the United Kingdom.
