2. Used Curtainsider Trucks

Used curtainsider trucks are available from GRC and are a truly versatile option for any business to use in their fleet. Curtainsiders are incredibly easy to load and offer fantastic access to your cargo, so there is an immediate advantage over all other types of truck. Curtainsiders can be used across many different industries as they are capable of moving many different cargos. The advantages of curtainsiders include:

a. Access

Side curtains down each side of a curtainsider protect the cargo, and they can retract so that whatever is packed on the floor of the trailer is accessible from either side of it (in addition to through the fixed doors at the rear of the vehicle). Deliveries which are loaded on a first on / last off basis can be made much easier by using a curtainsider. This is because access to anywhere on the floorplan is possible which means it is possible to carry ‘multiple drop’ loads (this may not have been logistically or practically possible on other types of truck). Due to the increased accessibility of curtainsiders, it’s possible to access loads from angles or in positions which are outside of what you could achieve with any other type of truck.

b. Versatility

It is possible to load cargo from one position but then remove it from another. For example, the way loading and unloading bays are set up may mean that opposite sides only are accessible at either end of a journey. Curtainsiders make for much better logistics when it comes to the different scenarios you may encounter when going about your business.

In terms of the loads you can carry, by opening up its sides a curtainsider can handle larger industrial cargos (wood, machinery, steel). When its sides are shut it is perfect for handling the transportation of other things such as food.

c. Speed

Loading up and unloading a curtainsider can be a far quicker process than with any other type of truck. This is due to the accessibility issues discussed above. It’s possible that, when making a delivery, your truck can be out on the road quicker than with any other type of truck – so your productivity is likely to increase as a result of investing in curtainsiders.
