Serco Unveils New Interlink Tautliner Boasting More Capacity, Greater Efficiency, Lower Costs!

Serco’s latest innovation in trailer design is a double stacking Interlink Tautliner engineered for efficiency and performance.

The cutting-edge curtain-sider interlink trailer offers a low-profile chassis and extended height upper structure for increased loading volume and efficiencies.

Its double stacking system allows operators to load single height pallets, double stacked pallets or a combination of both, as required. The user-friendly system is easily manipulated without the need for mechanised or forklift assistance.

Standout features of the new trailer include the simple-to-operate lifting roof system with multiple securing points designed into the side rave rail for flexible load securing.

The roof is transversally reinforced, incorporating a high-strength, tear-resistant GRP composite top cover. Designed for durability, this advanced construction ensures longevity and reliability, even under the toughest operating conditions.

Innovative Financing for Greater Affordability

To make this high-performance trailer more accessible, Serco has partnered with select financial institutions to offer innovative financing solutions.

As part of a special promotion, customers can now secure a new curtain-sider interlink trailer with monthly instalments starting from as low as R12,903 (excluding VAT) for the standard model.

Said Serco’s Brent Crafford: “We have worked closely with our banking partners to structure financing solutions that minimise monthly payments, subject to credit assessments, making this product even more attractive to transport operators.”

Unmatched Features for Maximum Performance

The new high-volume curtain-sider is designed with efficiency in mind, featuring premium-quality 800g PVC curtains with weld-on over-centre buckles and high strength aluminium runners protected by a durable weather flap. Its full chassis is constructed with high-tensile fabricated I-beams, while the front and rear headboards boast aluminium profiles for a sleek, upmarket finish.

With an internal height of 2.8m in the front unit and 3m in the rear trailer, the interlink maximises loading volume, making it an ideal solution for transporting high capacity dry goods.

The manually operated hydraulic lifting roof system in the front link increases the side opening height by 300mm for easier loading. An optional centralized control mechanism is available for even faster operation, reducing turnaround time.

Both trailers have integrated double stacking systems, enabling transporters to load a second level of pallets, effectively doubling capacity from 36 to 72 pallets. The system is easily folded away when not in use.

The rear light box features LED tail lights connected to an integrated roof-mounted LED indicator and brake light, improving visibility for added safety on the road.

The trailer is designed to handle a payload of 34.6 tons, ensuring efficiency and cost-effectiveness for fleet operators.

Serco CEO Clinton Holcroft emphasised the company’s commitment to delivering innovative transport solutions: “At Serco, we continuously push the boundaries of engineering excellence to support our customers’ needs. This new Interlink Tautliner is designed to provide maximum efficiency, reliability and cost savings for operators moving high volume dry goods.”

The new Interlink Tautliner is ideal for transport operators looking to optimise their fleet’s performance and profitability.
