A tautliner semi-trailer

Tautliner or curtainsider is used as a generic name for curtain sided trucks/trailers. It is the trade name of commercial vehicles built by Boalloy of Congleton, Cheshire, England. The curtains contain load retaining straps which, when released, allow the curtain to be pulled back and a forklift to be used for easy and efficient loading and unloading.[1]

The company patented the concept in 1969, and credits much of its popularity to its adoption by the haulier Eddie Stobart.[2]
