Curtainsiders
Curtains | Box Vans | Fridges | Skeletals | Machine Carriers | Flats | Tippers
Whatever the application, Montracon has the curtainsider tailored for the job. Operators have the choice of straight or high volume step frame models - single or double deck, mounted on either tandem or triaxle bogies. All available with a fuel friendly canted roof line and side skirts.
Tare weight reduction is achieved through the use of new materials without affecting strength or life expectancy, while further innovations include the use of bolted components in the body and chassis construction. All ensure these trailers remain streets ahead of the rest.

New options to the curtainsider range - improving load security with Montracon
Rectractostrap System: Intended for curtainsider applications, load retention straps are clipped to lines wound onto and suspended from ratchets that in turn are hung from and travel along wires that run the full length of the trailer either to each side of the roof or along the centre of it.
Ratchets to each side operate in pairs with the strap suspended between them and down either side of the trailer.
In the case of double deckers wires can be strung to cover each deck.
When loading, ratchet/load retention straps are drawn along the wires to the position required, the suspended strap then being easily pulled down to couple with a strap/tensioner secured to a floor mounted lashing ring or drop down cleat in the side rave. Once linked on both sides, the over centre tensioners are adjusted to clamp the load in place on the trailer bed, the ratchet line continuing to pay out until the strap is fully tight.
The retractostrap system is available both as a new build option or via aftermarket supply. For aftermarket supply, contact your nearest parts depot. Click here for more.
