Why Curtainsider Rigids?
Curtainsider rigids are typically used for secondary distribution and where there is a requirement to load from the side at the point of collection/ delivery.
Commonly, you also have the facility to load/ unload through the rear; perhaps from a loading bay or even at ground level when fitted with a tail-lift.
