Curtainside Questions | TruckersReport.com Trucking Forum

im about to buy a 48' curtainside, tandem axle flatbed and have some questions.

1) do the buckles holding the curtains down count toward securement? I'm asking bc this trailer only has 5 4" strap winders on the side rail. I would think 5 is not enough for a lot of loads.

2) it has van doors on the back. Can I accept van loads on a load board? Or am I dumb?

Uh.. besides the normal stuff, what should I look out for?
I don't think the buckles count towards securement, at least on the curtain sides that I've pulled.

Make sure you leave at least one roof support bar in place on each side or the roof will bow down,and be darned near impossible to get the bar back in.
Myself I'd be looking out for a roll-tite kit. A little pricier, but a more versatile trailer. Can load it with an overhead crane for instance. Most have equipment tie-downs in the floor or hook tracks for securing loads.
No, it does not qualify as a tiedown. I've seen some drivers close the curtains and roll without throwing a single strap over lumber before.

Unless you are dealing exclusively with building materials, curtain sides are highly limited for flat deck. If you are looking for an easy tarping solution, I mirror the others here and suggest a roll-tite. Steel is a big part of flat deck, and most of it is loaded with a crane.
I'd like to se a picture of the way the doors are attached on the back of you don't mind? Is it like the bulkhead ot the front?
Well, I found a broker who can run me in a 300 mile radius and he says there's no steel, just building supplies/ pallets.

I know it will limit me but for what I'm looking to do, I think it's going to work.

I'll get some pictures up soon.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Buckles on Curtains are NOT SECUREMENT for the load inside. Hell no. If there was auto glass in there wanting out it's ripping through the curtain on it's way off the floor.

You did load them like a van. VERY gently. Ive done curtainside over one winter, my first dedicated between GM Auto in Baltimore (No longer in existance) and central Kentucky with GMC Astro van glass in racks on the floor.

You drove those things very gently.
