Truck Trailers (Curtainsiders) The Good & Bad!! Which is Best? 

Good morning👋 Hope you found this video interesting, don’t forget to give it thumbs up if you liked it. Thanks for watching, talk to you again soon👍

I am not even a trucker but this guy makes me watch all his videos, great work,

Thanks for the great video as always, I thought the egg at the end was a great way to show what can happen if something heavy enough lands on your foot. I love learning about your trucks and trailers, they're so different form ours here in the states. This may sound stupid but I'm so glad you've stuck with the cheers at the end of the videos, It's kind of my favorite part. Thanks again Stavros, and from all the from Ohio CHEEEEEEERS!

Enjoyed this Stavros. I used to explain the differences between Quinn & Fitzgeralds rigid bodies to the head guys back where my Dad worked years ago. Small details make big differences! Loved the video.

Thanks Stavros! It is nice to see a vid on trailers.

Brilliant video as always would love to see more like this about the preferred equipment. Also would be great to see some older wagons getting reviewed the same way you go the newer kit 👍

Brilliant video, really enjoyed the guide to trailer and more like how to for us never drivers.

There will be nice to see some trailers from continent. Hard opening low sides for safety and stop mowing loads, opening roof for loading with crain, lights inside, rails on floor for troleys, stearing axle and more other gadgets

Hi Stavros. Keep up with the great work on your RU-vid channel. Iam a class one driver myself, but I have landed a job driving a John Deere tractor moving waste water. Picking it up from different sites and taking it to a treatment plant where its cleaned, It's a great little job. And I get to clock off at 5pm. 👍

Best curtainsider brands I've seen so far: SDC, Lawrence David and Montracon. Tiger trailers are irritating, as the buckles above the axles have to be squeezed under the lip. Not a fan of them but the other three brands? Top notch.

Great video and editing Stavros! Keep it up 👍

As always great video Stavro!

Good morning Stavros nice video talk about random with the egg in the steel toe 😅💯👍

Really good video about the trailers and specially the few hints u gave. THank you very much. I have more info now of when i need ot buy a trailer :D

I have pillars in a 30ft urban trailer. They are almost impossible to push in due to being slightly too tall for the trailer. The catch opens if I go over any kind of bump. Even if I use straps to hold them in and secure them in position. Absolute pain.

Fantastic video mate..... would love to see more like this 😃👍

Great vid as always !

Hi mate! Yeah! It's definitely a great video! 👍👍👍

Don't have many curtainsider trailers here in the states so this was very cool to see how they work!

that's the way to go Stavros, please do more coverage of trailers and even axles configurations, types to truck tyres you know. go deeper. love you channel n content

Lovely egg stunt, and no stunt guy! Love your work!! Cheeeeeeeeeers!!

I'm happy that everything that we ship is ambient chain, so our trucks have solid walls.

Fantastic to watch

Yes stavros! You put a smile on my face lmao! Keep your vids coming very very good. Take good care of your self and be lucky

Had over 30 years on tankers. Packed in them and gone onto fridge boxes for an easy last 8 years before I retire. Can’t be doing with the hassle these curtain siders bring with them. Load baring curtains, internal posts, rotten floors, and dodgy straps. No thank you very much. Great video thanks, it’s definitely made my mind up to steer well away from them if at all possible. Nice to see you’re a man of his word! You could of used an Easter egg to break over your head. Lol..

Very informative. Cheers Stavros.

Stavros thank you for safety education is very important. In Kenya we are very poor on road safety and truck handling procedures. Welcome to Kenya we organise truck show.

Also may be worth mentioning the pillar less trailers are about a 1ton heavier then a posted one

I really liked this video, you went full youtuber at the end with the egg

Fantastic video!

Legislation has driven the pillarless trailer. We have a fleet of them because of the load securing law. We still have a number of non XL trailers that are light and better to pull but not legal for our operation unless additional restraints are used which will damage the cargo.

I am so glad the curtain side trailer not that popular in the US. I prefer the dry box trailer. Just close the door and all done. Better cargo security, and you don't have to worry about someone damage the curtain. Great video. Keep up the good work.

Very good video Stavros; keep up good job. Greetings from Canada!

Bravo thanks for all what you've done great video

Only stavros can make curtain siders interesting. 👍 nice one.

Nice video stavros 👍👍

Greeting Stavros! I'm a long distance trucker from Canada. Just discovered your channel. I recently started using "curtain side" trailers on a new contract. Really enjoyed your critique. I'm headed out to the compound to examine our trailers for the points you've brought up. I also just noticed a post you put up a couple of weeks ago on the new Volvo. I myself am a Volvo fan. I own 3 VNL 860. I am curious as to how well these curtain side trailers stand up to frigid conditions.....like -35c and below. We get a lot of that here.

Your video is really fun to watch

Good video very right about trailers

Love youre vids

Holy... This trailer parking sensor is a fantastic idea!

Hello stavros I’m a regular viewer in your channel.

Excellent video

Im dead at 5:19 Your humor is pure gold

I was always told to curve the edges when doing curtain repairs also!

good job man !

Great video stavros 👍 do you make patchwork quilt's in your spare time!! Lol. See you next week

Its interesting to see how your curtains trailers work over seas, over here in the states most of them just slide the who curtain all the way to the front or rear without any bars for easy loading.

Great vid stavros I drive a rigid curtainsider its hardship on windy days I struggle to put the poles onto ratchets because the curtain gets pushed inwards i had a near miss with a pole it came at speed towards my head and i ducked just before it hit me and also I opened the back door in wind and got flung around the side with the pressure cheers

Stavros the science guy.

nice view in to trail life.

Nice video. I drive an scandinavian spec eikeri 2+1(turning reair) solid box with a full side opening (One side). Lifting front axle. There heavyer but we can have more weight.

Good evening from Malaysia 🇲🇾

Brilliant video! Never seen sensors like that before. How do you by pass it applying the trailer brake for completely backing onto something?

Hi Stravos , what make is the trailer with the reverse sensors and what make is the trailer with the 12 reenforced metal strips ?

Had a forklift drive over my safety boots a few years ago. It did hurt, but I still have all my toes ;)

am glad I do fridges..... only 1 way in and out 😉

Hello stavros I’m a regular viewer in your channel. I have a request to you that please make a video about automatic truck or semi automatic truck. And show the advantages and disadvantages of automatic or semi automatic trucks. Thank you

hello my friend ... i'm here indonesia to listen to a very good video

Been there at 5.19.😀

Very nice job I'm a truck driver too , i wish to join you one day

stavros how wld u manage to reverse on to loading bay with thm reversing peepers if trailer brakes come on

HAHAHAHAHA I enjoyed every minute of this video lol poor guy. I personally love the SDC. plastic clamps arnt that bad anyways. Love the parking sensors that's a great idea. do more trailer reviews of brand vs brand? CHEEEEEEERRRRSS

You could actually make more videos where you show how to fix basic things. 👌🏻

funniest video ever from you stavros... ha haa

Good evening from Indonesia 👋👋👋

...focus you piece of... You are always so positive, and you seem to apologize when you have to say something bad about a truck. But you really let loose on your camera equipment. :)

I have used them all over the years and I find flaws in them all. My ideal curtain sider would have a mixture of all the manufacturers components in it. Nothing worse then a smack of a curtain pole or a curtain buckle. Do them reversing sensors still allow you get back close enough too the loading bay.

Good morning from Rome

My old boss had a checkerplate floor in one of his old curtainsiders. It was generally good, but add a little water and it was shit.

Traditional trailer are more safety cuz its all part are strong but curtain size side part are weaker,but load the cargo is more easier

Is your cousin Stavros? Famous singer from Croatia?

I prefer curtain slider with gate.. in malaysia have many corner.. say hye from malaysia

The best brand side curtain its structreflax,, sound some thing like that..

Steel toe boots can be incredibly dangerous. Instead of having crushed toes you get severed toes. They protect you better against low force impact but any high load will cause the steel to cut down on your toes like a paper cutting device. They are actually not allowed at my job site for safety reasons.

Low deck and Standard Compare ?

We are using these pillarless trailers on coca cola contract and they are garbage and i have to keep re tensioning the buckles untill you cant bend the roof anymore so yeah totally agree with you stavros they are shite

how is this MP4 a bluetec 5? 0:10

Krone or cargo Bull?

Where are the gates on chains n rails im confused

Stavros try scania driving ok 😊

What accounts for the popularity of curtainside trailers in Europe versus in US?

5:20 😂😂

Onesty i am not a fan to curtainsider trailers at all. They are horrible open and close if they are first coming wet and you drive them to the north and temperature drop under a -6 Celcius desigrees.Feels like you try open to steel side. Just last week we was situation like that.Southern finland temperature was a +8 Celcius and raining a water where i loading my trailer but in a northern finland where i unload my trailer temperature was a -23 Celcius desigrees.All trailer curtain was like a one peace. I looking a jeollous drivers whos have a hardwall fullside open trailers.They open and close them so easully and fast.Not need fight at all.Thats in a northern countries use alot fullside opened boxes. Personally i dont see any sense to courtainside trailers.

i want tobe a trucker too .. lucky guys ...

My floors are timber I'm driving a 5 axle b train

From my expirience with curtainsiders, schwazmüller makes best trailers. They are light, and they are too easy to operate.

9:20... automatic brakes in trailer - ohhh well... those flashing lights - great but brakes automaticlly? that would be soooooo annoying backing up for ramp...

None, do containers no worries 👍 🇬🇧

With some safety shoes the steel cap end up decapitating all your toes if ure lucky

Egg head 😂😂👌

mowst insequre trailers i ever seen are this types.

😆😆😆😆😆

T

I just hate curtainside trailers 😂😂😂

Curtain trailers are invention of the Devil him self! HATE THEM!

Excellent video
