Common Types of Cargo for Side-Border Trailers:

Construction materials (steel bars, cement, tiles)
Industrial machinery and equipment
Timber and wooden boards
Palletized goods
Large sacks (bulk raw materials)

Use in International Transport (Transit):

Side-border trailers are widely used for export routes to neighboring countries, including:

Turkey
Iraq
Afghanistan
Azerbaijan
CIS countries (like Russia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, etc.)
