Freighter trailer holds loads like never before

Freighter’s new Load Hold Curtain trailer is designed to eliminate the need for traditional load restraint devices

Designed to eliminate the need for traditional load restraint devices for many types of loads, Freighter’s new Load Hold Curtain trailer is claimed to be a major advancement in trailer load restraint systems.

For many common types of loads it eliminates the need for conventional gates by building the load restraint system into the curtains, the company says.

I is also certified to meet the National Transport Commission Load Restraint Guidelines, providing sideways load restraint for unitised loads up to 1,200kg per pallet space.

Higher approved load levels are possible on a case-by-case basis with certification by Freighter Engineering.

Load Hold combines composite technology with buckles and straps that are supported at the top and bottom by heavy-duty curtain track and coaming rail, with extra high strength fibreglass pultrusions inside the curtain that are huck-bolted to conventional curtain buckles while shorter reinforced tensioning straps are utilised for added durability and performance.

The fibreglass pultrusions also ensure no stretching corrosion or decay during the operational life of the trailer, Freighter says.

Operating in the same manner as a conventional T-Liner, Load Hold is said to suit all route types including local distribution, interstate and line haul and provides a number of additional benefits for both small and large transport operators.
