TIDD STRONGBOX, of 'Sandy, Bedfordshire, is now offering the Belgian-designed Bachomatic vertical roll-up curtainsider system which does not rely on traditional straps for load retention.
The specially designed reinforced polyester side-curtains are rolled up vertically into a patented aluminium profile.
By tensioning the curtains directly onto the pallets, Tidd claims the Bachomatic system offers equal load retention regardless of the height or dimension of pallets.
The curtains are supported by cross bars from the roof of the body which has a central reinforced vertical partition. The rear steel frame is fitted with two central locking doors. For operators which want a through loading capability, Tidd can fit a conventional centre post support.
To raise or lower the side curtains takes one minute, from a single control point.
Tidd will fit the Bachomatic system to any new platform semi-trailer, or it can he supplied on its own chassis. A standard 12m(40ft) tandem axle semitrailer with a Bachomatic body costs around .06,000 plus vat.
