A curtain-side gives you the weather protection of a box trailer without losing side access. The load stays dry and out of the dust, and a forklift can still reach it from either side instead of working through rear doors only.
Every figure above is a starting point, not a fixed catalogue spec — we build to your requirement.
Freight that must stay dry and clean but still needs quick side loading — packaged goods, retail distribution, FMCG and anything moving through multiple drops in a day.
Construction dust and summer humidity do more damage to open loads here than rain does. The canopy keeps both off the cargo while the curtains keep turnaround times short at each stop.
Canopy height and profile, curtain material, cage design and whether you want the rear left open or fitted with doors.
Both keep cargo covered, so the decision comes down to how you load. A box trailer is sealed and secure but loads from the rear only: every pallet behind the one you want has to come out first. A curtain-side opens along its whole length, so a driver reaches any pallet in seconds.
If you run multi-drop routes where the delivery order changes, the curtain wins on time saved at every stop. If the cargo is high-value, temperature-sensitive or needs to be locked, a box or reefer trailer is the better answer.
Curtains here face a harder life than they do in cooler markets. Sustained summer heat and UV are what age a curtain, not rain — the material stiffens, colours fade, and a curtain chosen on price alone shows it within a couple of seasons.
Tell us whether the trailer runs long inter-emirate routes in full sun or shorter urban work, and whether you want your livery printed on the curtain. A curtain is the most visible surface on the trailer and doubles as advertising for the length of its life.
Canopy height sets your usable internal volume and your overall height. Go too tall and you gain space you rarely fill while adding weight and wind resistance; too short and you cap the pallet height you can carry. Sizing this around your standard pallet or cage height is the practical approach, allowing clearance for the load to go in and out without catching.
An open rear is quicker and cheaper. Doors add security at overnight stops and let you close the trailer up completely. If the trailer will sit loaded outside a depot or at a customer site overnight, doors usually justify themselves.
Send the cargo type, your pallet or cage dimensions, how many drops a day you run, and the country the trailer is going to. We reply with a written specification, a price and a lead time, usually within one working day. Buyers outside the UAE should read our GCC export page for how collection works.

It depends on how you load. A curtain-side opens along its full length so any pallet is reachable in seconds, which suits multi-drop work. A box trailer is more secure and fully sealed but loads from the rear only. High-value or temperature-sensitive cargo usually belongs in a box or reefer.
Sustained heat and UV are what age a curtain here, more than rain. Curtain material is specified per order, so tell us whether the trailer runs long routes in full sun or shorter urban work and we will specify accordingly.
Yes. The curtain is the most visible surface on the trailer and works as advertising for the whole of its life, so it is worth deciding the artwork at the specification stage.
Lead time depends on the canopy and curtain specification. We confirm it in writing with your quotation, before you commit to anything.
For sealed, lockable or refrigerated cargo see box and reefer trailers. If the load does not need covering at all, a flatbed or stake body trailer is lighter and cheaper. Our build process explains how every chassis is fabricated.
