TR Group
You know when your clients are so good every team member wants to work with them? That’s how it is for us with TR Group.
For years now we’ve been fitting new curtains and providing an onsite repair service at their yard.
Design files for every rig we touch are available anywhere. We are all over the H&S requirements for working at the TR Group site – and we’re happy to say our processes minimise downtime. But best of all we feel like an extension of their team.
We like just about everything that comes with this business relationship … with the exception of being whipped in the intercompany Go Kart challenge three years in a row. Beni is still a bit dark about that!
A curtainsider is a flexible PVC curtain system fitted to trucks and trailers as an alternative to solid bodies or tarps. The curtain slides open on sealed bearing rollers, allowing quick access for loading and unloading from either side. It’s strong, waterproof, and designed to keep goods dry and secure on the road.
Yes. All Tarpaulin Makers curtainsiders are load rated and certified to NZ standards, meeting or exceeding a 3,100kg per metre load rating. They come with a 5-year certification and a 3-year UV warranty for added peace of mind.
We use heavy-duty 900gsm European PVC fabric, complete with stainless steel buckles, aluminium luff groove poles, and our own track and pelmet system. These materials are built to last and withstand New Zealand’s tough transport conditions.
Clean your truck curtainsiders regularly with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid high-pressure washers, which can damage the PVC coating and lacquer finish, especially on signwritten and clear coated curtains. Routine cleaning helps maintain colour, flexibility, and weather resistance.
With proper care and cleaning, Tarpaulin Makers curtainsiders can last many years. Their high-quality PVC, UV protection, and reinforced fittings ensure reliable performance across countless transport cycles.
Yes. Our Tauranga-based team provides both workshop and mobile services. We can fit, repair, or replace curtainsiders at your yard, helping you minimise downtime and keep your fleet on the road. If you’re outside of the Bay of Plenty region, we can put you in touch with some trusted repairers or installers.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch.
We look forward to hearing from you.
