Curtainsiders

Thomas’s Group demonstrates our innovative range of curtainsiders which exceeds logistics requirements in modern industries. Our collection of transportation vehicles extends from 7.5 tonnes up to larger capacity allowing customers to reach their delivery goals efficiently.

A Curtainside truck is a high volume box shaped body with doors at the rear, however these bodies also have curtains on each side which can slide from front to back or vice-versa to enable the vehicle to be loaded or unloaded using a forklift along the full length of the body. This can speed up the loading/unloading process as you don’t have to load in a particular order. Some will also have tail-lifts to further aid in the loading/unloading process.

Here at Thomas’s we have been in business for over 40 years. Our staff here have full experience and knowledge within the transport industry ensuring you that we can certainly meet your business’s transportation needs.

We offer every shape and size of truck/ van for contract hire and rental – including small vans, long wheelbase vans,7.5 t luton, 26 ton box or curtainsides and tractor units.

With all of our vehicles having less than three years on the road, we guarantee you a smooth, hassle free trip.
