Whether it’s 20, 10, or even just one skel is sitting idle in your depot, every unused one is another missed opportunity to bring in revenue.
With SCF’s intermodal Tautliner containers, you can get those skels out of the depot and onto the road – maximising your income and using once-idle equipment to jump on every business opportunity that comes your way.
Find out how SCF’s Tautliners work, their features and functionality and how adding them to your fleet could help generate new business growth.
How SCF Tautliner containers work
Curtainsider containers are more similar to traditional trailers than you’d think. They come with all the same great features and functions that make them ideal for carrying freight across Australia. After all, they’re purpose-built for the task.
There’s just one major difference between trailers and intermodal containers – you can add a curtainsider container to the back of an existing skel, instantly converting it into a usable trailer designed to meet the freight profile for the job at hand.
Here are just a few possible combinations:
- A 40ft Tautliner with full side opening, providing capacity for 20 pallets or for longer freight profiles.
- A 40ft Tautliner with SCF’s unique lift-and-lock single operator mezzanine deck, allowing it to carry up to 40 Australian pallets.
- A 48ft Tautliner with full side opening, ideal for longer length freight and providing capacity for up to 24 pallets.
- A 48ft Tautliner with optional mezzanine deck, increasing its capacity to up to 48 pallets.
With SCF there’s a curtainsider container to fit any skel, so compatibility is a breeze. And, once you’ve set up an account with SCF and got the container paid for and picked up, the process of swapping containers on an existing skel takes as little as five to 10 minutes.
