About this Side Wall Semi-Trailer

Our side wall semi-trailer pairs a flat or light platform with fixed side walls or sliding PVC curtains (Tautliner) for fast forklift loading from the side. 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.

Choose curtainside for speed, fixed side wall for security, or drop-side for low loading — with a hard roof and rear double doors as standard.

Other Common Sizes & Configurations

Beyond the standard build, we make these Side Wall Semi-Trailer variants to match different cargo and local road rules:

  • 13.0–13.75 m curtainside — 3-axle, 85–140 m³; most common
  • 13.6 m fixed wall — higher-security line-haul

  • Low rail / high rail — for fork or stacked loads

How the Side Wall Semi-Trailer Compares

Not sure which trailer type fits your cargo? Here is how the Side Wall Semi-Trailer differs from close alternatives.

vs Cargo Box Semi-Trailer

Side wall uses a soft curtain that opens fully for fast loading and is lighter; the Cargo Box Semi-Trailer is a hard enclosed body with stronger weather and theft protection.

vs Fence Semi-Trailer

Side wall has a weather-proof PVC curtain and roof; the Fence Semi-Trailer is an open stake rack with no rain protection.

vs Dump Semi-Trailer

Side wall carries pallet and piece goods with side access; the Dump Semi-Trailer is a tipping body for loose bulk only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lead time for a Side Wall Semi-Trailer?
Standard configurations ship in 25–35 days; fixed-wall or 4-axle builds may take longer. We confirm the exact date in the proforma invoice.
Do you handle shipping to my country?
Yes. We ship FOB Qingdao or CIF to major ports in Africa, the Middle East and South America, and can arrange container, RORO or bulk shipment.
Can the trailer be customized?
Yes. Curtain vs fixed wall, rail height, axle count, length and floor are all adjustable.
What is the difference between a side wall and a cargo box?
A side wall uses a soft curtain that opens for speed and is lighter; a cargo box is a hard enclosed body with stronger protection.
Curtainside or fixed wall — which?
Curtainside for fastest loading; fixed wall where security and a hard surface matter more than side speed.
How much can a side wall carry?
A 3-axle side wall is rated about 21–31 t payload within the 40 t GVW class; we match it to your road rules.
Is a side wall weather-proof?
Yes. The PVC curtain plus hard roof and rear doors keep rain out; it is less sealed than a hard box but far better than an open fence.
Is the side wall trailer legal for road use?
Every unit is engineered to meet the dimension, axle-load and GVW limits of your destination country's road regulations. We confirm the build against your local rules before shipment.
Which suspension is better — mechanical or air?
Mechanical leaf is the durable default; air ride is optional for fragile cargo and smoother rides.
