Curtainside trailer pillars

eyhaulage:
i am carrying panels and they have sharp ish egdes which are keep ripping my sheets on flatbed. because they need to be straped tight. with curtainsider i wont have this problem as curtains will be touching just sided of panels. the real question is that if i place support pillars 5ft away from each end of the trailer will the roof structure withstand about lets say trip 300miles with pillars placed in slightl different position ? I dont worry about curtain if is bulging 2inch on each side.

Why wouldnt the tautliner sheets get damaged equally? The roof is designed to be supported by the posts in their marked positions. If they arent there it will over stress the roof, remember the sheets are being pulled down both by the sheet straps pulling down and by the load pushing into the sheets. As a one-off you may &#;get away with it&#;, as an ongoing plan, it ain`t a good one.

Id say youd be better putting corner boards of some form on the panels you carry.

Morning, As I do not have all the details I cannot be definitive with an answer but I can say that with curtain sided 40' trailers we almost never loaded from the rear because it was quicker and safer to load from the side. We had two or three trucks feeding the trailer and the driver/mate would position the pallets on the trailer when the FLT had lowered them. Our trucks operated at ground level and did not go onto/into the trailer. The only time we loaded from the back was when we were putting in a couple of pallets and it was easier/quicker to open the back doors than to pull back the curtains. In 4 years we had 1 injury where a driver was on the ground (he was instructed to stay on the trailer till fully loaded) and claimed that he was hit by a reversing FLT, CCTV showed that he had been climbing on some very large plant and had fallen off hitting his shoulder. Just how do you envisage this operation being carried out, are the trucks going to deposit the load at the door or run down the length of the trailer. If the latter how do you know the trailer bed will support your FLT?
