Serco's new curtain sider truck body is a massive success

A tautliner is a generic name for a curtain-sided body that is used to carry a variety of different types of goods, which can be loaded or unloaded through the opening of the side curtain.
A key priority for these builds was to use a high wear coated birch ply flooring suitable for the loading of timber boards. A further enhancement was for these boards to be securely bonded to the steel underframe without the need for mechanical fasteners which tend to work loose over time causing water seepage and leading to possible damage to the floor and the load.
The coated birch floor also offers a weight reduction compared to a conventional steel deck.
