Damaged curtains cost more than they look
Tautliner curtains protect your load and make loading fast. When one tears, what matters is speed, a repair that lasts, and getting it done where the truck already is.
We repair and make tautliner curtains across Victoria. Our mobile units come to your yard, depot or roadside, so the truck isn’t waiting on a workshop booking.
What goes wrong out on the road
Side-swipes
Poles, bridges, building supports, low branches and broken fences cause most tears.
Worn hardware
Tired rollers and straps put extra strain on the curtain every time it’s pulled tight.
Weather and age
UV, wind and rain make PVC brittle over time, and seams start to split.
Once PVC starts to tear it runs from the top down, so a small rip left for a week is usually a bigger repair.
Why prompt repairs matter
- Safety: a torn curtain can’t secure the load and puts other road users at risk.
- Compliance: damaged curtains can put you outside load-restraint requirements.
- Efficiency: curtains that run properly mean faster loading and less downtime.
- Appearance: your curtain is a moving billboard. Keep it looking the part.
The inside-out repair
We repair from the inside face of the curtain, so nothing shows from the road. Tears are heat-welded and patched with 900 GSM PVC, the same material as the curtain itself, and the patch is colour-matched. Painted or digitally printed curtains get the closest match we can source.
- No visible patch on the outside
- Patch material matches the curtain’s own weight and flex
- Heat-welded bond, not a stick-on cover-up
- Repaired area is as strong as the original, or stronger

Common questions
No. We repair from the inside face of the curtain, and plain curtains are colour-matched. Printed or painted curtains get the closest match we can source.
Yes. Our mobile units come to your yard, depot or roadside anywhere in Victoria, or you can bring the truck to our Morwell workshop.
Often, yes. Text a photo of the damage and the curtain size if you know it, and we’ll come back with a price or tell you if we need to see it.
We’ll tell you straight. If a curtain is near the end of its life, a new one can cost less over the next year than repeated repairs.
