Featuring one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios in the industry, the rugged Tautliner® is the only trailer in its category designed, engineered, and manufactured by one company from the ground up.
HEAVY-DUTY REAR DOOR FRAME
The rear door frame of our Truck Body comes standard with the durability and strength you have come to expect from Utility. Massive 7/16-inch thick extruded aluminum rear corner posts provide additional rear frame stiffness and greater body integrity.
THE QUALITY’S IN THE DETAILS
Each Tautliner® Truck Body is built to Utility’s exacting standards from the ground up. Beginning with the floors, Utility uses dry van style 4" deep hi-tensile steel cross members on 12" centers and a full 1 1/8" laminated hardwood floor. The resulting 12,000 lb. Fork truck rating provides the versatility and durability you need.
The extra-strong 5/16" thick heavy-duty aluminum extruded front corner posts further reinforce overall structural integrity. For added roof stiffness, the upper rail is a full 6" deep aluminum extrusion.
CURTAIN TENSIONERS, STRAPS, AND BUCKLES
Curtain tensioners are positioned at both front and rear for maximum versatility and load access. Our Tautliner® curtains also feature individually pocketed, 3,000 pound tensioning straps with stainless-steel buckles every 24" on center. These pockets protect the vertical straps from abrasion and allow the curtains to distribute loads evenly, resulting in longer curtain life.
IN-HOUSE OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
Massive display area and color capabilities offer a magnificent opportunity for a moving billboard. Utility’s in-house graphic designers will create displays that get real attention.
This allows for the additional load securement from “kite” style cargo nets that can be easily repositioned the full length of the trailer.
High-quality 300 DPI images are used to produce the highest quality graphics for your curtains. Let Utility help design or customize your trailer graphics. We can turn almost any “hi-res” image into your rolling billboard.
WEBLINER-STYLE CURTAIN ASSEMBLY
This curtain design option is seamed horizontally, providing a smooth billboard-type background to enhance digital graphics.
LIFTOUT POST KITE TRACK ASSEMBLY
Secures liftout post to the roof assembly while providing full access to the load area. These posts can be moved from one end of the trailer to the other, but are never detached from the Tautliner® Truck Body trailer.
Horizontally bolted to curtain assembly to assist in opening curtain. No more pulling on curtain vertical “strap and buckle” assembly.
