English term or phrase: curtain sided trailer
A curtain sided, rather than flat trailer, must be used.

I know that a curtain sided lorry has access three ways (back and both sides) but am not sure about the corresponding Dutch term.

Explanation:
Of huifoplegger. Spreekt voor zich.
Als het een trailer betreft met een verschuifbare huif aan beide zijden, een vast dak en vaste deuren aan de achterkant wordt tautliner gebruikt(onvertaald uit UK Engels).
Tik beide woorden in op Google en je vindt genoeg (mijn verbinding is traag dus ik kan je geen specifieke websites noemen).
Succes.

Explanation:
a 'huiftrailer' is a semi that can be broken down completely - including the roof and all sidebars. a 'curtain sided trailer' is exactly that: a semi which has curtains on both sides, but a fixed roof. (to make it even more complicated: there are curtain sided trailers which do have a mechanism to also slide the roof) The usual terms in dutch transport are either 'tautliner' (official term) or 'schuifzeiler' (day to day / on the job expression)
