Various types of dropside trailer bodywork

The standard equipment of each dropside trailer includes hooks that allow you to safely transport various items, non-slip and waterproof floors, as well as durable support wheels.

When buying a dropside trailer, you can equip it with additional solutions. We are talking here especially about different types of tops. What choice do you have?

Flat tarpaulin

It is a solution that allows you to safely transport loose and light materials such as sand, cement, leaves, and even paper or cardboard. On the one hand, you will protect them against external factors and stabilize them, and on the other hand, you will gain full discretion.

An additional advantage of using a flat tarpaulin on the sideboard is the reduction of air resistance while driving, which leads to lower fuel consumption.

Tarpaulin on a frame

Thanks to the tarpaulin on the frame, you gain more space for storing various types of items. These can be appliances, furniture, and even goods that are not standard in terms of shapes or dimensions.

Also, this solution effectively protects the transported property on a dropside trailer. Thanks to it, the cargo will be protected against both solar radiation and rain, wind or other external factors.

Full side extension

Another solution for dropside trailers is a special extension, which will significantly increase transport possibilities. Thanks to it, you will gain additional space. This will allow you to transport more goods - also those higher, which could fall out of the side trailer without an extension.

A flat tarpaulin can be easily attached to the extension, which further increases your transport possibilities.

Perforated side extension

This type of extension has openings that provide better air circulation, enabling the transport of goods that require it. Thanks to the use of galvanized steel in the production, it is a solution that is extremely resistant to mechanical damage and corrosion.

Front railing

By installing a railing, you will be able to safely transport sports equipment, such as windsurfing boards, sails, and more. It can be easily mounted and removed - depending on individual needs.
