A curtain-side body on the Hino 500 seven-tonner. The curtains slide back along both sides in full: the truck opens along its whole length and loads by crane, forklift or from a dock — whichever suits the stop. Aluminium drop sides, a dropping rear board and a ladder at the back. Hino is not currently supplied to Kazakhstan, but we build the same body on chassis that are available.

More about the design on the page tilt and curtain-side bodies.
Curtain-side is a platform with aluminium sides, a frame of posts and crossbars and a curtain that runs on rails. The curtain slides to the front or rear wall and the side opens completely — not one section at a time as with eyelet tarpaulins, but along its whole length.
The practical difference is simple. A van loads only from the rear. An ordinary tarpaulin has to be unlaced. A curtain slides clear in seconds and a forklift can reach the load from anywhere along the side. At a warehouse with a side dock, or on a yard with a crane, that saves a whole operation.
The sides are aluminium drop sides, so they do not get in the way when loading from above. At the rear there is a dropping board and a swing wall with a folding ladder beneath: you climb into the body without blocks. The frame is built from posts and crossbars and the roof is solid — the curtains work on the sides only, so the load stays dry even with a curtain open in the rain.
The Hino 500 GD is a Japanese seven-tonner, category C. Hino is not currently supplied to Kazakhstan, so we cannot repeat the project on this exact chassis. We build the same body on the JAC N120, KamAZ and other available chassis — chosen by deck length and axle load.
Our other projects in the “curtainsider” category. All body types are in the “Vehicles” section.
