Goudriaan Transport provides curtain-sider transport for a wide variety of sectors, including industry, mechanical engineering, construction and manufacturing. Whether it concerns a one-off shipment or a regular transport flow, we always offer a reliable and flexible solution that matches your specific requirements and schedule.

With curtain-sider transport, the cargo is transported in a fully enclosed trailer, protecting it against weather conditions. Open transport on flatbed trailers or low-loaders is suitable for oversized or heavy cargo that does not fit in a curtain-sider trailer. Goudriaan Transport offers both options and is happy to advise you on the most suitable choice for your cargo.

No problem. Goudriaan Transport offers the option to send a truck-mounted forklift along with the curtain-sider trailer. This enables the driver to load and unload completely independently, without relying on facilities on site. This saves time and gives you the assurance that your cargo is always handled professionally.

Goudriaan Transport offers maximum flexibility when loading. Our curtain-side trailers can be loaded from both the sides and the top. When loading from the top, a crane can be used, which is particularly useful for heavier or difficult-to-manoeuvre cargo. This ensures efficient and safe handling, regardless of the type of goods.

With the curtain-sider trailers from Goudriaan Transport, virtually any internal-dimension cargo can be transported. Think of pallets, skids, machinery, installations and industrial goods. The closed curtain ensures that your cargo stays dry and does not need to be tarped, as might be necessary with open transport.

Curtain-sider transport is the carriage of cargo in a closed curtain-sider trailer, where the cargo is fully protected against wind and rain. It is the ideal choice for standard-sized goods that need to arrive at their destination dry and undamaged.

Goudriaan Transport carries out heavy haulage throughout Europe. Thanks to our continuous permits in the Netherlands and abroad, combined with years of knowledge of international routes and regulations, we are a reliable partner for cross-border heavy transport.

Transports exceeding 50 tonnes are considered heavy transport. Goudriaan Transport has 3- to 6-axle semi-lowloaders at its disposal to transport such loads safely. We take care of the complete guidance in this respect, from route planning and permits to paying attention to bridges, viaducts and road restrictions.
