When transporting goods, choosing the right trailers is not only a strategic decision, but a key factor that can determine the success of a logistics operation. Each type of trailer has unique features designed to respond to specific needs, making them more efficient and reliable depending on the type of cargo that needs to be transported.
Therefore, in this article we present the most important differences between the trailers in our fleet: box (van and double-decker), tarpaulin (tauliner) and mega. This way, you will be able to identify the most suitable option to optimise your logistics processes and guarantee the safety of your goods.
Box (van): Maximum protection for your cargo
To begin with, the box trailer, also known as a box van, is one of the most commonly used trailers thanks to its closed design. This design fully protects the goods from adverse weather conditions, such as rain or sun, as well as from theft and vandalism.
Therefore, this type of trailer is ideal for delicate or high-value goods, such as household appliances, clothing or non-perishable foodstuffs. In addition, its rigid structure provides unrivalled security throughout the journey, making it a reliable solution for any operation.
Box (double-decker): More capacity, more efficiency
On the other hand, the box trailer offers a significant advantage over the standard model: it incorporates a second load level. This feature allows a larger volume of goods to be transported in a single trip, thus optimising the use of available space and reducing transport costs.
Consequently, this type of trailer is particularly useful for light, non-bulky loads, such as textiles, boxes, and products that can be stacked without risk. In addition, its efficient design makes it an excellent choice for companies looking to maximise every journey and minimise delivery times.
Tauliner: flexibility and agility in loading
The tarpaulin trailer, commonly known as a tauliner, stands out for its great flexibility and versatility. Thanks to its retractable tarpaulin, this trailer allows fast loading and unloading, which is ideal for high turnover logistics operations.
Although it does not offer the same protection as an enclosed trailer, it is still effective in protecting goods from rain, wind, or dust. For this reason, it is often used in the transport of building materials, agricultural products and pallets. Its adaptable design makes it a popular choice for a wide variety of industries.
Mega: The solution for bulky loads
Finally, the mega trailer is the perfect choice for transporting large goods. Its main advantage lies in its extended internal height of up to 3.2 metres, allowing it to carry bulky goods without compromising safety or transport efficiency.
For example, this type of trailer is ideal for loads such as heavy machinery, large vehicles or construction materials of special dimensions. In addition, its ability to optimise vertical space makes it a cost-effective and practical solution for goods that exceed standard dimensions.
In short, choosing the right trailer is crucial to ensure efficient, safe and secure transport tailored to the specific needs of each load.
