Tautliner Transport Brisbane
Side-loading curtainsider freight across Brisbane, South East Queensland and on to Sydney.
Axis Freight Management (AFM) runs tautliners from our depot in Wacol for palletised freight, building materials and general freight across Brisbane and South East Queensland. For freight heading south, our weekly B-double linehaul runs between Brisbane and Sydney. You deal directly with our team.
What is a tautliner?
A tautliner, also called a curtainsider, is a trailer with fabric side curtains that slide open along its length. A forklift can load and unload it from the side, and the curtains keep freight covered from sun and rain on the road.
What we move on tautliners
- Palletised freight, from a few pallets to a full trailer
- Building materials and construction products
- General freight that needs to stay covered in transit
- Freight between Brisbane and Sydney on our weekly linehaul
Choosing the right truck
Tautliners suit freight that's loaded by forklift and needs cover. For other jobs we also run:
- Flat-deck trailers behind prime movers for steel, machinery and long loads (Steel Transport, Construction & Industrial Freight)
- MR and HR rigid trucks, including tail-lift trucks, for smaller loads and sites with no forklift (Taxi Truck Brisbane)
Not sure which one you need? Tell us what you're moving and we'll match the truck.
Areas covered
Brisbane, the Gold Coast through to Tweed Heads, the Sunshine Coast and regional Queensland, plus Brisbane to Sydney linehaul with stops at Toowoomba, Goondiwindi, Moree, Tamworth and Newcastle.
