The double-deck system is a space-optimization solution designed for curtain-sided semi-trailers. It creates a second loading level inside the vehicle, providing greater transport capacity for non-stackable pallets and goods that are difficult to stack. 

FAQ - Double-deck system for curtain-sided semi-trailers  

What are the advantages of the double-deck system for curtain-sided semi-trailers?  

  • Optimization of cargo space: by creating a second level, it is possible to load up to 66 Euro pallets or long loads into a semi-trailer equipped with the CTD-3, representing a significant gain in usable volume while maintaining the ability to load and unload the vehicle from the side.  
  • Modularity and adaptability: the height of the side panels is adjustable, thanks to vertical rails welded to the stanchions, making it easy to adjust the second level according to loading requirements.  
  • Strength and safety: the support beams ensure the safety of the cargo during transport.  
  • Economic and environmental efficiency: by doubling loading capacity without increasing the number of trips, the CTD-3 helps reduce transportation costs, fuel consumption, and CO₂ emissions 

How does the double-deck system for curtain-sided semi-trailers work?  

The CTD-3 double-deck system is based on side extensions installed along the interior wall of the semi-trailer. The support beams for the second level are mounted on these rails. The beams can be easily stored between the stanchions when the double floor is not in use, offering great flexibility. The length of the extension determines the load capacity of the beam. It is therefore recommended to use a semi-trailer with 4 or 5 side stanchions.  

For optimal configuration, it is necessary to position 3 pallets on 2 beams, with the load evenly distributed, allowing for a maximum capacity of approximately 1,200 kg for two pallets (or approximately 600 kg per beam).

Who should choose the CTD-3 double-deck system, and why? 

The CTD-3 double-deck system is designed for bodybuilders who want to offer their customers optimized vehicle solutions, particularly for non-stackable or bulky cargo. By allowing more pallets to be loaded in a single trip, this system helps reduce operating costs and improve the overall productivity of transport operations.
