Weight is gross vehicle weight (the vehicle plus its load), not what you can carry. Ask the hire desk about payload.
Typical business tasks
- Distribution and delivery runs where side access to the load matters
- Moving stock and materials that need protection from the weather
- Adding capacity for peak periods, contracts or a vehicle in for repair
- Longer-term haulage needs on an agreed contract
Before you hire
A curtainsider has a flexible side that can be drawn back to load from the side as well as the rear. Whether your load suits a particular vehicle depends on its weight, size and how it will be loaded, so tell the hire desk. Need a tail lift, a certain body length or pallet capacity? Ask the hire desk and they will confirm what the vehicle has.

Curtainsider hire questions
Not covered here? Call the hire desk and we will talk it through.
What is the difference between a day cab and a sleeper cab?
A sleeper cab has sleeping space behind the seats, a day cab does not. The 7.5 tonne class is listed with both options. The 12, 18 and 26 tonne classes are listed as sleeper cab. Ask the hire desk to confirm the cab for the vehicle you would receive.
Does a curtainsider have a tail lift?
Ask the hire desk if you need one and they will tell you which vehicles have it.
Which licence do I need for a larger curtainsider?
The correct driver entitlement depends on the actual vehicle and your business use, so confirm it before you hire. The hire desk can talk through the vehicle you are considering.
Can I hire a curtainsider for a few months?
Yes. Ask about contract hire rates for three, six or twelve months and longer. Lower rates depend on the vehicle and agreed commitment.
