The Kales 13M Curtainsider (Tautliner) is engineered for high-frequency logistics. Combining the fast side-loading capability of a flatbed with the weather protection of a dry van, it cuts loading time by 40%. Featuring a T700 High-Strength Chassis, BPW Axles, and Air Suspension, it represents the gold standard for palletized cargo transport.
1. Why Curtainsider is the Future of Logistics?
In the fast-paced world of FMCG, Beverage, and Automotive logistics, time is money. Traditional dry vans limit you to rear-door loading, creating bottlenecks at the dock. The Kales Curtainsider changes the game:
- 🚀 Side Loading Efficiency: The PVC curtains slide open completely, revealing the entire 13-meter deck. Forklifts can load pallets from both sides simultaneously, reducing loading time from 1 hour to just 20 minutes.
- 📦 Versatile Cargo Handling: Unlike fixed-wall trailers, the curtainsider can accommodate oversized width cargo or long pipes that cannot fit through a rear door.
- 🛡️ Cargo Security: The internal structure features movable pillars and horizontal side planks, allowing you to secure cargo tightly with straps, preventing damage during transit.

2. Premium Chassis & Manufacturing Technology
A trailer is only as good as its backbone. Kales utilizes advanced manufacturing processes to ensure longevity:
💎 T700 High Strength Steel
We upgraded the main beam material from Q345 to T700 High Strength Steel. This reduces the trailer’s tare weight while increasing the payload capacity to 40-50 tons without chassis deformation.
🎨 Shot Blasting & Polyurethane Paint
Before painting, the chassis undergoes Shot Blasting to remove rust and stress. We then apply Polyurethane Paint (2 primers + 2 topcoats), ensuring 5+ years of rust resistance even in coastal areas.
🔗 Aluminum Alloy Structure
To further reduce weight, the roof support structure, side rails, and toolboxes are made of Aluminum Alloy. This lowers fuel consumption for the tractor head.
3. Global High-End Configuration
Kales partners with the world’s best component manufacturers to ensure your fleet stays on the road, not in the repair shop.
BPW / SAF Axles
We offer genuine BPW or SAF Axles (German technology) for maintenance-free operation up to 100,000km.
Air Bag Suspension
Upgrade to Air Suspension for superior shock absorption. This protects fragile cargo (like glass or electronics) and reduces tire wear by 20%.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is the curtain secure against theft?
A: The standard PVC curtain is designed for weather protection. However, we offer an optional “Anti-Slash Mesh” reinforcement embedded inside the curtain to prevent cutting and theft. Additionally, the rear doors are solid steel/aluminum with robust locking bars.
Q2: How durable is the curtain mechanism?
A: The curtain rollers and tensioners are industrial-grade components designed for thousands of cycles. With simple cleaning and lubrication of the tracks, the mechanism will operate smoothly for years.
Q3: Can I customize the length and height?
A: Yes. While 13.75m is standard, we can build 15m or 16m super-long versions for maximizing volume (CBM). We can also adjust the internal height up to 3 meters depending on your local bridge regulations.
Q4: What is the delivery time?
A: Due to the customized nature of curtainsiders, production typically takes 20-25 working days. We recommend ordering in advance to match shipping schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you customize the trailer design according to my requirements?
Yes, absolutely. As a manufacturer, we have a professional engineering team. We can customize the dimensions, loading capacity (e.g., 60 tons, 80 tons), axle brand (FUWA/BPW), suspension type, and paint color to suit your specific road conditions and transport needs.
What material do you use for the main beam?
We use high-strength Q355 or T700 steel for the main beam. This ensures the trailer is lightweight yet strong enough to withstand heavy loads and rough road conditions in Africa and Central Asia.
What is your production time?
Standard models usually take 15-20 working days after receiving the deposit. For urgent orders, we can even shorten it to 10 days. We will keep you updated with photos and videos during production.
What are your payment terms?
Our standard term is T/T (30% deposit, 70% balance before shipping). For large orders, L/C (Letter of Credit) is also negotiable.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes, we provide a 24-month warranty for the main beam. For spare parts (like brake pads, lights), we supply original parts at factory cost for the lifetime of the trailer.
