Reliability Behind The Curtains

The curtain-side truck is a rockstar in the transportation world.

With its design, which is both unique and practical, you can access the cargo space with ease and transport loads seamlessly. Just unbuckle a part of the curtain from whichever side you want, and access the load.

There’s a tail lift option to facilitate loading and unloading, making your job even easier.

Keep in mind you need at least C1 entitlement to operate a 7.5t lorry.

Things That Make 7.5-Tonne Curtain Side Lorry Stand Out

There are many great reasons why so many businesses opt for the curtain-side lorry with a tail lift.

Curtain-side design – This unique feature makes the truck more accessible. You can easily move the curtains on the side of this truck for quick and easy access to cargo.
Size and payload capacity – The vehicle is large enough to carry a significant load, yet it remains compact enough to navigate city roads without problems.
Versatility – Due to the curtain sides and large cargo capacity, this vehicle can be used to transport a wide range of goods by companies across various industries.

Manufacturers that boast the most popular models of curtain sider trucks are DAF, Mercedes-Benz and Iveco. Some truck makers even offer sleeper cab options for maximum convenience.

Licence requirements
