    The problem of my place is that there are many plants here who use cranes to load from top, but unloading is from side and they want me to have tint, so I cant use flatbed. So I need European tint trailer, not flatbed ore dry box, I like more. But it is not all, I need strong and tought floor becouse rear loading is with fork trucks, generally of 5 ton capacity (were used on railway stations in USSR age), and they drive 5 tont fork truck with 5 ton on fork into your trailer. US MOND and Utility are good, and other trailers with wood bars on floor ore steel floor are good for this, but many trailers with plywood floor get plywood damaged, cracked and punched in with this kind of loaders.

    I like this TRAILOR for good floor

    try to get something scandinavian they usually have 7280kg for forklift per axle on floor capacity they are robust and good corrosion protection

    do you need TIR tarpaulin with sideboards

    curtainsider with sideboards

    or just curtainsider

    since you are loading from top i would not chose TIR maybe only if it have edscha roof!!!


    edit maybe think about schwarzmueller they usually have wood planks below plywood this is good solution

    I would prefere tarpaulin with sideboards. Curtainsider is more complicated and if you damage rail it is really impossible to fix all the mechanics.

    So if owner would let me purchase this trailer cheapper I gonna get it.

    today I had conversation to Russian truck operator who has two Trailor trailers with SMB. He says, it is real nightmare to find parts for suspention. Yep, really good frame, good floor, but... so I gonna find other one.

    Anyway I need European Tint ore Curtainside rtrailer, unfortunatly I live in Town where I cant use dry box ore flatbed.

    Yeah, I like SAF and Meritor axes, but BPW is much cheapper to get parts. Ok, I gonna go on searching for better one
