PANTRAK Systems:
Innovation That Lasts

Expert Service That Keeps You Moving

One of the first bolt-on rubber-mounted bodies, which eliminates cracking. The PANTRAK body is a robust and easily maintained body which gives it longevity.

Since developing the PANTRAK system, we’ve continuously refined the design based on real-world feedback from operators who demand durability and simplicity. Today, PANTRAK systems are trusted by major companies throughout the UK, particularly in the demanding poultry industry where reliability is non-negotiable.

Pantrak Curtain-Sided Trailers

The PANTRAK Advantage

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 that have made it an industry benchmark.

Eliminates Cracking The rubber mounting system absorbs road vibration and reduces stress on both body and chassis. This eliminates the cracking problems common with rigid-mounted systems, significantly extending body life.

Simple Maintenance When components need replacing, the modular bolt-on design allows for straightforward repairs. No specialized tools required, no return trips to the manufacturer. Many maintenance tasks can be handled by your own team.

Proven Durability Thousands of PANTRAK bodies are working across the UK, many of them decades old and still going strong. The robust construction and quality materials ensure longevity that delivers real return on investment.

Customizable Configuration We build each PANTRAK body to your specifications, from overall dimensions to gate arrangements and accessory mounting. Standard or bespoke, we deliver what you need.

Applications

PANTRAK curtain-siders are used across diverse industries, from general haulage to specialized transport operations. The design’s versatility and reliability make it suitable for virtually any curtain-sided application.

Pantrak Rigid Bodies

Versatile Solutions for Truck Bodies

The PANTRAK system isn’t limited to trailers. We manufacture rigid bodies for trucks using the same bolt-on, rubber-mounted technology that has proven so successful in our trailer range.

Benefits of PANTRAK Rigid Bodies:

  • Same crack-eliminating rubber mounting as our trailer systems
  • Robust construction for long service life
  • Easy maintenance and repair
  • Can be built to your exact specifications
  • Suitable for various truck chassis

Whether you’re operating a single rigid vehicle or a fleet, PANTRAK rigid bodies deliver the durability and ease of maintenance that reduce your total cost of ownership.
