Our trucks & trailers

CtrlChain supports road freight transport across Europe, covering major logistics corridors in Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. We have local offices in Poland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, with teams on the ground who understand local transport markets.

Our colleagues speak the local languages and can support you or your customers in any required language. This makes both domestic and cross-border trucking operations smoother, faster, and more reliable across key EU markets.

The main difference is how the trailer is built, how it can be loaded and the type of cargo it is designed to carry.

Box trailer: Choose a box trailer when you need a fully enclosed and secure cargo area. It is particularly suitable for electronics, retail goods, branded products and other high-value freight.

Curtainside trailer: Choose a curtainside when side or rear loading is important. The flexible curtains allow forklifts to access the trailer along its length, making it well suited to machinery, industrial goods and construction materials.

Refrigerated trailer: Choose a reefer when your products need to remain within a controlled temperature range. It is used for chilled and frozen food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products.

A box truck is a good choice when your goods do not require temperature control but benefit from a fully enclosed trailer.

It is commonly used for electronics, retail goods, packaged products, machinery, high-value cargo and other commercial freight where protection and secure transport are important.

A curtainsider is particularly suitable when fast or flexible loading is important. Because the trailer can be opened from the sides, goods can be loaded and unloaded along the length of the trailer rather than only through the rear doors.

Curtainsiders are commonly used for industrial goods, construction materials, machinery, packaged products and other freight that is typically handled by forklift.

Choose a reefer truck when your products need to remain within a controlled temperature range throughout the journey.

Reefer transport is commonly used for chilled and frozen food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products. The required temperature depends on the cargo and should be agreed before transport.

Can I use a reefer truck for goods that do not need refrigeration?

Yes. A reefer trailer can transport goods that do not require active cooling, but it is usually selected when temperature control or insulation is needed.

For standard dry freight, a box truck or curtainsider will generally be the more suitable option.
