Dry vans with fabric sides

Curtainside

 

They r flatbeds with rolling tarp systems

 

Curtain sides have a fixed roof, been around 30 years or more, rolling tarps slide out of the way and have no fixed top, been around a long time but have gotten very popular the last 10 years or so.

What about these? It looks like a soft side but I've never seen one open.

Curtain vans usually have buckles down the side.

 

They use them a lot in Europe.

I've also seen curtain side trailers in Mexico. Grupo Modelo uses them to haul beer. They'll load a twin 45' trailer rig from the sides out in the yard.
