SDC Trailers return to Commercial Vehicle Show for 10th consecutive year


SDC, the UK & Ireland’s leading manufacturer of semi-trailers is returning to the Commercial Vehicle Show on 28th April 2020, to showcase their extensive range for the road haulage and logistics industry. The manufacturer will have 6 trailers at Birmingham’s NEC; three EN 12642 XL Freespan Curtainsiders with varied length and specification aligned to operator requirements, a 10.6m Urban Curtainsider, a 13.7m GRP Boxvan and 10.9m Urban Construction Platform trailer, fitted with curtain drop sides and roll along crane.

SDC Trailers main stand in Hall 5 will feature the company’s 5* Easy-roll curtain rail technology, developed in-house, the low friction alloy system has been trusted on their Curtainsider range for over 40 years, and came to the forefront earlier this year when it revolutionised the UK’s Freespan industry. Mounted on a robotically welded chassis, the Freespan design provides efficient loading with full, un-obstructed side access and the easy to use curtain rail technology ensures driver safety.

SDC President, Paul Bratton said: “We are delighted to be exhibiting at the CV show for our 10th consecutive year. Our theme for 2020 is ‘Enhanced Productivity’ - a true benefit that customers have reported on SDC’s Freespan curtainsider and bespoke trailer range. We will have 6 trailers at the show which are representative of the wide portfolio we offer, serving customers in the logistics, retail, manufacturing, mining and construction sectors. We look forward to greeting customers at our stand 5D85, to discuss ways that they can boost productivity and profitability with SDC’s expert trailer engineering.”
