AAA Trailers Curtainsider – Drop Deck Lead (A) Trailer 12 Pallet in Melbourne

Overview: Curtainsider – Drop Deck Lead (A) Trailer 12 Pallet

Built to keep freight moving and schedules on track, the 12-pallet Curtainsider Drop Deck Lead (A) Trailer delivers the payload capacity, flexibility, and durability operators demand. With a 47-tonne ATM and an approximate tare weight of 8.9 tonnes, it’s capable of handling high-volume loads with ease. The drop deck configuration provides excellent clearance for varied freight types, while the high-tensile steel frame, forklift-rated 5mm chequer plate floor, and C-channel coaming with tie rail give it the strength to stand up to the grind of daily work.


Proven on busy freight corridors, interstate runs, and general cargo routes, it’s fitted with K-Hitch tri-axle airbag suspension, 22.5” drum brake axles, and a multi-volt EBS braking system for stable handling and consistent braking in all conditions.


Standard features include polyweld load restraint curtains, hanging aluminium side gates, stainless steel toolboxes, LED lighting, and dual spare wheel carriers—everything you need to put it straight to work. For added versatility, available upgrades include custom curtains, road train kits, and ring feeders, letting you adapt the trailer to suit your operation whether you’re running loads across Melbourne, throughout Victoria, or anywhere in Australia.
