A curtainsider lifting roof system allows the roof of a curtainsider to be temporarily raised during loading, providing additional clearance for tall loads without increasing the vehicle's overall travelling height.
This is particularly useful where the side aperture has already reached its maximum practical height. Raising the roof creates additional vertical clearance so taller loads can be handled through the side opening without contacting the cant rail or pelmet.
The system uses vertically extending support pillars along the sides of the body. When activated, these pillars lift the roof structure upward in a controlled manner, increasing the available loading height across the side aperture.
Once loading is complete, the roof is lowered back into its standard position. This ensures the load sits beneath the roof sticks and the vehicle returns to its normal operating height for transport.
By temporarily increasing side loading height, a curtainsider lifting roof system reduces the risk of contact during loading and enables more efficient handling of taller freight within standard vehicle height limits.
