About this Side Curtain Semi-Trailer
Our side curtain semi-trailer uses a sliding PVC curtain on a light steel frame for fast forklift side loading while keeping cargo covered and weather-protected. Built in Liangshan — China's trailer manufacturing hub — every unit is engineered to meet the road, dimension and axle-load regulations of your destination country, so it is legal to register and operate on local highways.
Curtains slide the full length for full-side access, optional twist locks carry ISO containers, and aluminium roof bows keep tare low for higher payload.

How the Side Curtain Semi-Trailer Compares
Not sure which trailer type fits your cargo? Here is how the Side Curtain Semi-Trailer differs from close alternatives.
vs Cargo Box Semi-Trailer
Side curtain opens the full side for fast forklift loading and is lighter; the Cargo Box Semi-Trailer is a hard, theft-proof body with slower side access.
vs Side Wall Semi-Trailer
Side curtain uses a soft PVC curtain for full-side, fast loading at lower tare; the Side Wall Semi-Trailer has rigid side boards with stronger shielding.
vs Flatbed Semi-Trailer
Side curtain keeps cargo covered and weather-protected; the Flatbed Semi-Trailer is fully open and relies on strapping only.
