The Don-Bur range of curtainsider trailers are engineered for maximum efficiency and durability. The innovative pillarless design and robust construction deliver exceptional performance and minimise downtime.
Our curtainsiders have a heavy-duty, durable specification which will provide many years of trouble-free service.
EN 12642-XL is a whole-body load containment standard applied to the entire bodywork that is accepted by the DVSA to provide adequate load restraint.
Loads must be positive-fit.
A curtainsider trailer uses sliding side curtains for fast side loading and unloading while keeping freight weather-protected. The body provides rigidity similar to a box van and suits palletised, caged, or irregular freight. Side curtains are typically heavy-duty PVC for durability and graphics.
Yes. EN 12642-XL whole-body load containment is standard on all new Don-Bur curtainsiders. This supports recognised UK load-security expectations, helping operators demonstrate due diligence without relying solely on additional lashings.
Common options include rave-to-rave straps, EN 12195-2 webbing straps, side and transverse nets, and EN 12640 lashing points. Configurations can be tailored to your cargo, route risks, and site loading constraints.
Yes. We build to specification, including straight, step-frame or urban layouts, bed length and height, galvanisation level, post/track systems, curtain materials and graphics, load restraint, and aerodynamic or weight-saving options.
There is little weight difference between curtainsiders and box vans. Curtainsiders use a thinner PVC curtain instead of solid sides, but their chassis is heavier to provide strength. In box vans, strength comes from the rigid panel body, allowing a slimmer chassis design.
