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.
