This Dinkel is a used curtainside semi trailer — sometimes referred to as a tarpaulin trailer or a curtainsider — a type of semi trailer designed to carry a wide range of general freight while offering the loading flexibility of open sides protected by retractable curtains. Dinkel is a Dutch manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for building heavy transport semi trailers and specialist low-loader solutions for the European road haulage market.
This particular unit is configured as a four-axle semi low-loader with an electric curtainside superstructure, making it well suited to oversized or awkwardly shaped loads that benefit from side access. Two of the four axles — the third and fourth — are friction-steered trailing-steer axles, improving manoeuvrability when operating at gross weights or navigating tight sites. There are no lift axles fitted. All four axles are manufactured by SAF, a respected specialist in trailer running gear. Suspension throughout is full air, providing a smooth ride and load-friendly handling characteristics. Braking is handled by drum brakes, which are reported at approximately 50% remaining life, and the system incorporates both ABS and EBS for controlled, electronically managed braking performance.
First registered on 23 April 2009, the trailer carries a valid Dutch APK roadworthiness certificate valid through March 2025. The overall trailer length is 13.80 metres, with a bed length of 10.10 metres, an overall width of 2.55 metres, and a bed height of approximately 78 centimetres. The internal cargo space measures 13.50 metres in length by 2.49 metres in width, with the width expandable out to 4.99 metres, making it capable of accommodating exceptionally wide loads. Internal height stands at 3.20 metres and can be raised to 3.60 metres. Tyre size is 205/65 × 17.5 inches, with an average tread depth reported at 45%.
The gross vehicle weight rating is 48,000 kg. The trailer's unladen weight is 11,020 kg, yielding a payload capacity of 36,980 kg. The trailer is located in the Netherlands.
