Finance a curtainsider or tautliner trailer — the workhorse of Australian freight. Side-loading, full curtain and tautliner configurations funded for transport operators and owner-drivers across Australia.
Curtainsiders, also called tautliners, carry palletised freight that needs to be loaded from the side. They're the most common semi-trailer on Australian roads, used by general freight carriers, manufacturers and owner-drivers subbing to major fleets.
Because they're so common, curtainsiders are among the easiest trailers to finance. There's a deep resale market, so lenders are comfortable with both new and used units, and longer terms are often available. For used trailers, lenders may ask about the condition of the curtains, gates and floor, as those are the costly parts to replace.
Tip: if you're subcontracting to a larger fleet, check whether they require a specific spec, such as height, mezzanine deck or rail type, before buying. A trailer that suits the work you've got lined up is easier to justify to a lender.
