A hard-walled trailer is one of the most common trailers in the field of road transport. This type of trailer is usually used to transport high-value shipment or clothing.
Curtain trailers are designed to allow easy access to your goods and are used in many different industries for different types of goods.
A MEGA trailer, sometimes called a jumbo trailer, has movable curtains like those of a curtain trailer. Most of the MEGA trailers are 3 m high and have a retractable top canopy, making the trailer suitable for transport above a certain height.
Platform or open trailers are used for special handling and oversized consignments. We have trailers both with and without aluminium sideboards.
Refrigerated trailers are designed to maintain a specific temperature so that your consignments are fresh when they arrive. Refrigerated trailers are used for perishable goods such as fruit and vegetables.
A tent trailer is one of the most common trailers in the field of road transport. Suitable for transporting most types of cargo. It allows top, side or rear loading.

Loading units
Many different units of measurement are used in road transport. Lorry requirements are set by international regulations that determine the weight limit and dimensions of lorries used to transport goods.
Units of measurement per lorry:
- Weight of the goods up to 24 tonnes
- Cargo volume from 85 to 112 m3
- Loading surface up to 13.6 ldm (loading metres)
- Capacity up to 33 EUR-pallets
Internal dimensions of a typical semi-trailer: 13.6 m (length) x 2.40 (width) x 2.65 (height)
1 EUR-pallet: 1,200 x 800 mm
1 FIN-pallet: 1,200 x 1,000 mm
For the transport of less-than-truckloads, the transport price is calculated according to the largest indicator of the weight or volume of the goods. 1 cbm (cubic metre) = 333 kg, 1 ldm (loading metre) = 1,850 kg, 1 EUR-pallet = 0.4 ldm = 740 kg, 1 FIN-pallet = 0.5 ldm = 925 kg
