Curtain-Side Trailers (Light Van Trailers)
Significant advantages:
1. Light weight
2. Low cost
3. Easy to load and unload
4. Beautiful appearance and other characteristics
Since the side curtain fabrics of side curtain trucks are much lighter than ordinary composite panels, the entire vehicle is 1-1.5 tons lighter than a van. The curb weight of the 14,600mm long and 2,550mm wide three-axle curtain side trailer can be reduced to less than 6,000kg. The curb weight of an ordinary van of the same specification with a common steel corrugated plate structure is generally around 9,000kg. Due to its light weight, the loading capacity of the curtain side car is greatly increased.
1. Easy loading and unloading is another important feature of the curtain side car. Since both sides and the rear door of the curtain side trailer can be opened, the forklift operating width can reach 26,000mm on both sides, while ordinary vans can only unload cargo from the rear door, and the forklift operating width is only 2,500mm. In order to facilitate unloading, some domestic vans have side doors, but the vehicle's curb weight has increased significantly, and it is still very inconvenient for forklifts to unload.
2. From a time perspective, if it normally takes 2 hours to unload a truck of goods and 3 hours to load a truck of goods, it only takes half an hour to unload with a curtain side truck and only 1 hour to load and tighten. , saving approximately 70% of loading and unloading time.
3. The curtain area of the side curtain car is large, suitable for printing various patterns, and has an excellent promotional effect on the brand image of the transporter. In European countries, advertisements on curtain side cars have become a moving landscape. At the same time, the flat curtain fabric is not easy to trap dirt and is easy to clean.
