Kin-Sider and Kin-Slider curten-side trailer systems

The Kinedyne Kin-Sider and Kin-Slider curten-side trailer systems feature high-strength aluminum, cast bronze, high-quality rubber seals and curtain rollers made with rugged N6 nylon covers over sealed bearings. While the Kin-Sider employs familiar fasteners at the bottom of the curtain side, the Kin-Slider features a latching approach that enables the curtain to be opened and closed within seconds, according to the company. The Kin-Sider replaces traditional curtain-side systems commonly used on 18-wheelers. Applications often include scenarios where side loading is advantageous. The Kin-Slider provides a technological advantage for those with chassis-mounted truck bodies that now use roll-up doors and traditional curtain-walled 18-wheelers that want to operate with greater speed and efficiency. The Kin-Slider opens and closes at both ends of the trailer, and cargo can be fully accessed and the curtain closed again within a matter of moments. The system has a unique full-length, vertical, multi-latch closure system with an adjacent, all-in-one latch release mechanism located both forward and aft.
