Curtainsider Parts Knowledge Guide

Why Curtainsider Parts Matter 

A curtainsider curtain is held in place and operated by a system of rollers, buckles, bottom straps, webbing reinforcements and internal load restraint equipment. These parts are subjected to constant movement, vibration, weather exposure and daily handling. Over time, even minor wear can compromise the whole system. 

Replacing worn components promptly offers several benefits: 

Using high quality, certified parts is essential to maintain performance, especially during winter when moisture, grit and low temperatures accelerate wear. 

Internal Curtainsider Straps 

Internal side-curtain straps are used inside the trailer to secure cargo against movement. They are designed to clip onto anchor points such as centre pole rings or keyhole fittings and play a key role in preventing load shift, particularly during braking and cornering. 

Our internal cargo straps are manufactured to strict standards and use commercial grade webbing designed for daily use in demanding transport environments. 

These straps provide reliable load restraint and long service life due to controlled elongation and high break forces. 

Buckle Assemblies and Bottom Straps 

Buckle assemblies maintain the lower tension of the curtain by fastening the bottom edge securely to the trailer body. These components are essential for keeping the curtain taut and preventing flapping, which can be both a safety issue and a source of accelerated wear. 

Our product range includes standard buckles, heavy duty buckles, integrated buckle and bottom strap assemblies and standalone replacement straps. These assemblies are engineered to withstand frequent operation and are built to ensure consistent tension across the entire curtain. 

All relevant components are tested to ensure compliance with European standards. 

Curtainsider Rollers and Bobbins 

Rollers and bobbins allow the curtain to glide smoothly along the top and bottom tracking. When these parts deteriorate, drivers begin to notice sticking, dragging or misalignment in the curtain. 

Signs of worn rollers include: 

Replacing rollers is one of the most effective maintenance actions for restoring smooth curtain operation. 

Our range includes top rollers, pelmet rollers, body rollers and bobbins suitable for a wide variety of trailer makes and models. 

Webbing, Reinforcement and Wear Protection 

Curtainsider curtains often rely on reinforced PVC coated webbing to distribute tension load and protect against wear points. High quality webbing is essential to prevent tearing, distortion and premature curtain failure. 

Our inventory includes: 

Keyhole Rings and Load Restraint Hardware 

Keyhole rings provide anchor points for internal straps and other load restraint equipment. These fittings are frequently used in general haulage, pallet networks, retail distribution and mixed freight operations. 

They are engineered to offer a secure connection point that withstands sustained tension and the dynamic forces generated during transport. 

Paired with our internal straps, they form part of a complete internal load restraint solution.
