For the driver, this means that as well as shorter loading and unloading times, work safety also increases, as they no longer need to deal with laths. Furthermore, the high-strength side tarpaulin offers effective anti-theft protection by preventing intentional cutting, and an unladen weight advantage over conventional curtainsiders, as the supporting laths can be omitted while the certification remains unchanged. 

The S.CS curtainsider with POWER CURTAIN has the important Code XL and beverage and Daimler certificates, which ensure versatile use of the curtainsider. Anyone who wants to secure the goods at the rear can use the load-securing loops in the tarpaulin. When pulled through the loops, the lashing straps develop blocking forces per row of 2,500 daN.

“The combination of tractor unit and semi-trailer enables the drivers to train under real-world conditions,” explains Martin Gairing, Head of Mercedes-Benz Trucks Training. “We are pleased to successfully expand our long-standing and constructive partnership with Schmitz Cargobull with these vehicles.”
