About this film & text description

An illustrative 3D film of the SwiftLink Cargo curtainsider and matching trailer. The camera moves from the front towards the side. The curtains draw back to reveal palletised cartons on both load decks, before closing as the camera returns to the opening view. The roof stays in place throughout. The film has no sound.

The model and cargo arrangement illustrate the vehicle concept. They are not a scale drawing or a confirmed loading plan. The specifications and suitability checks below apply to your enquiry.

Made for volume

Room for the goods
that take up space.

A practical option between a small courier van and a larger rigid lorry.

Our combination gives suitable lightweight freight generous floor space and internal height. The trailer can be detached when the main vehicle better suits the movement or the site.

Tell us about your goods and both locations. We’ll check load weight, dimensions, access and handling before confirming an arrangement.

Dimensions and volume are approximate. Pallet configurations are alternatives. Actual capacity depends on load dimensions and permissible weights. Deck length is not overall road length; gross train weight is not payload.

Plan the weight as well as the space

Two units. Separate limits.

Up to 3,100 kg combined payload. Each unit must stay within its own limit, even when there is space left on the other.

Loading that fits
the working day.

01

Access from both sides

Dual-side curtains on both units allow forklift loading where there’s suitable space and equipment at your site.

02

Connected decks

An internal aluminium bridge allows suitable pedestrian pallet trucks to move between the coupled decks. Its company-stated 2,000 kg rating includes equipment, load and any operator, subject to suitable point loads. It is not a tail lift; forklifts must not drive over it. Unit payload limits still apply, and the bridge gradient and handling equipment must be checked.

03

A choice of configuration

Where appropriate, the main vehicle can operate without the trailer. This changes the available space and load arrangement, so we check the fit for each movement.

Good to know

A few useful answers.

Ask us a question
How many pallets can you carry?

Up to 25 Euro pallets (1200 × 800 mm), or alternatively up to 20 UK Standard pallets (1200 × 1000 mm). The towing vehicle accommodates up to 10 Euro or 8 UK pallets with a 900 kg payload limit; the trailer accommodates up to 15 Euro or 12 UK pallets with a 2,200 kg limit. The combined payload limit is 3,100 kg, including pallets and packaging. Pallet formats are alternatives; clearances, load distribution and axle limits determine the actual arrangement.

Can a forklift load from the side?

Yes. Both units have dual-side curtains for forklift access. Tell us which loading equipment is available at each site and whether there is space to work alongside the vehicle.

How does rear loading work?

A site forklift can place suitable freight at the rear of the trailer, or a compatible low-level bay or scissor lift can provide access. A suitable hand or pedestrian pallet truck may then transfer goods across the internal bridge without uncoupling. Its company-stated 2,000 kg rating includes equipment, load and any operator, subject to point loads and the unit payload limits. The floor heights differ, so bridge gradient and equipment suitability must be checked. There is no tail lift; forklifts must not drive onto the decks or bridge. Standard fixed HGV-only docks are not directly compatible.

Can the vehicle operate without its trailer?

The trailer can be detached when the main vehicle alone better suits a site. This changes the available space and load arrangement. Access, vehicle restrictions and suitability must be checked for each movement.
