Flip-Up Ramp
Access to the swan-neck has always been challenging and could be overcome with an internal tail-lift. Don-Bur manufactures a long flip-up pneumatic floor ramp to enable easy access for both personnel, pallet trucks and cages.

Loading Features for Efficient Operations
Loading efficiency is a key factor in transport operations, influencing turnaround times, labour demands, and vehicle utilisation. This section explores Don-Bur’s loading-related features, including wide-access rear apertures, low floor heights, side loading options, dock compatibility, and integrated ramps or tail lift interfaces.
Whether loading by forklift, manually, or via powered equipment, our trailers and rigids can be configured to suit the method — with solutions optimised for palletised freight, roll cages, garment handling, and more. We design loading features with operator safety, warehouse flow, and real-world usability in mind.
Sliding Roof
The Don-Bur sliding roof design offers unhindered roof access for top/ crane-loaded items.
Step-Frame Pneumatic Ramp
Pneumatic ramps can be fitted to many double decks to enable ease of loading through the rear and up, onto the swan-neck.
Lifting Roof System
Maximize payload height without increasing overall height on a curtainsider with the Lifting Roof System. Vertical support pillars lift the roof, enabling side-loading of high loads without damaging the cant rail or pelmet, optimizing space utilization.
G-Rail 2nd Decking System
The G-Rail system is a simple method of temporarily adding a lightweight 2nd decking system to maximum load fill. It is particulary useful with loose loads where stacking becomes impractical.
Manual Flip-Up Deck
The manual flip-up deck is specified on fixed double deck trailers with a step frame chassis where there is a need to increase the aperture/headroom at the end of the swan neck.
Internal Scissor Lift
The internal scissor lift is commonly used on trailers with a step frame chassis design where there is a requirement to load onto the swan neck.
Internal Column Lift
The internal column lift is commonly used on trailers with a step frame chassis design where there is a requirement to load onto the swan neck.
Internal Lift
The internal lift is commonly used for double decks where there is a requirement to load/unload a secondary deck from a loading bay. The lift also forms part of the secondary deck.
