    Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company recently announced that all of its Tautliner curtain side trailers will now come standard with Kinedyne’s Kin-Sider curtains. Kin-Siders are made from PVC-laminated, flame-retardant polyester substrate and built for maximum durability. It also backed up by PVC-saturated polyester straps that are sonically welded for additional reinforcement. The Kin-Sider is available in white and a number of other colors, and you can add your own branding or any other custom graphic to the curtain, which will be protected by a spray paint-resistant, anti-graffiti coating.

    Smarter Design

    “We are pleased to partner with Kinedyne, a long-time supplier of Utility, to make the Kin-Sider our new standard trailer curtain,” says Steve Bennett, vice president of Utility Trailer. “Our customers will find that its high-quality welded and lighter-weight design makes the curtain easier to open and close. The Kin-Sider features an easy-to-use buckle and hook assembly that utilizes a pull-to-release action instead of a push-to-release buckle method. Users will find this system much easier to use, especially in winter conditions.”

    More On The Tautliner

    Utility’s Tautliner curtain-sided trailers feature a flatbed with an aluminum floor and hardwood nailing strips. The aluminum construction makes the Tautliner up to 800 pounds lighter than all-steel alternatives, which in turn means it can haul a load that much heavier. The curtain side makes it much easier to access to the cargo inside, especially when dealing with items loaded on pallets that require a forklift or other machine for loading and unloading. The new Kin-Sider curtain combined with Utility’s tensioning system ensures that the cargo inside is thoroughly protected from outside elements.
