Pantrak Body Systems
In the early days of Panema Trailers, Paul Anema identified a problem: traditional curtain-sided bodies were difficult to maintain and often required specialized tools and expertise for repairs. His solution was the PANTRAK system—one of the first bolt-on, rubber-mounted body designs on the market.
Decades later, the PANTRAK system remains a benchmark for reliability and ease of maintenance. We’ve continuously refined the design based on real-world feedback from operators who demand durability and simplicity.
PANTRAK Curtain-Sided Bodies
Built for the Real World
The PANTRAK curtain-sided body is engineered around a simple principle: trailers should be easy to maintain and built to withstand years of demanding use. The bolt-on, rubber-mounted design offers several key advantages.
Key Features:
Simple Installation The bolt-on design means fitting a PANTRAK body doesn’t require specialized tools or extensive downtime. We can retrofit existing trailers or supply complete new bodies.
Easy Maintenance When components need replacing, the modular design allows for straightforward repairs. No need to return to the manufacturer for routine maintenance—your own team can handle many tasks.
Rubber-Mounted Durability The rubber mounting system absorbs road vibration and reduces stress on both body and chassis, extending the life of your investment.
Proven Reliability Thousands of PANTRAK bodies are working across the UK and beyond, many of them decades old and still going strong.
Customizable Configuration We can adapt the PANTRAK system to your specific requirements, from overall dimensions to gate arrangements and accessory mounting.
PANTRAK Live Poultry Carriers
Purpose-Built for the Poultry Industry
Our live poultry carrier body has become widely trusted throughout the poultry sector. Designed with input from operators and incorporating lessons from decades of experience, the PANTRAK poultry carrier prioritizes animal welfare, operational efficiency, and longevity.
Key Features:
Ventilation Design Carefully engineered airflow ensures optimal conditions during transport, reducing stress and maintaining bird welfare.
Durable Construction The challenging conditions of poultry transport demand robust materials and construction. PANTRAK carriers are built to withstand frequent washing, chemical exposure, and constant loading cycles.
Easy Cleaning Interior design facilitates thorough cleaning and disinfection, essential for biosecurity and maintaining health standards.
Loading Efficiency Thoughtful design details speed up loading and unloading operations, reducing labor and vehicle turnaround time.
Long Service Life Many of our poultry carriers remain in service for decades, a testament to the quality of materials and construction.
Custom Solutions
Every operation has unique requirements. If our standard PANTRAK configurations don’t quite fit your needs, talk to us about custom solutions. We’ve developed specialized bodies for numerous applications and can work with you to create the right solution for your business.
Retrofit & Upgrade Options
Already have trailers but interested in the PANTRAK advantages? We can retrofit PANTRAK bodies to suitable existing chassis, giving your fleet a cost-effective upgrade without purchasing entirely new units.
