Curtainside Trailers
Fontaine Trailer Company has now begun manufacturing Curtainside trailers. They look much like van trailers except that they open up from the side via a tarp-like curtain. Fontaine Curtainside trailers give cargo the protection of a van trailer, along with the ease of loading from the side rather than from the rear of the trailer.

Some other features of the Fontaine Curtainside trailers include: 7-inch neck depth and 48-inch king pin height with 55-inch front deck height; rear deck height of 53 inches; 28-ounce, 12Ă—12 panama weave (two threads running in each direction) which provides equal strength and tear resistance in either direction; and silkscreen graphics with specialized ink that will not crack or peel for the life of the curtain.
