Reinforced For Longevity
Reinforced Webbing for Tough Conditions
Our baggage cart covers use heavy-duty web edging around the full perimeter. This reinforcement is critical at busy UK airports where ground crews load and unload hundreds of bags per shift, and the curtains take constant handling.
The webbing distributes stress across the mounting points and prevents tearing at the grommets. If your operation puts extra strain on specific areas (corners, bottom edges), we can add webbing reinforcement at those locations too.
Where Baggage Cart Curtains Are Used Across the UK and Ireland
Every major UK and Irish airport relies on baggage carts and trailers to move luggage between the terminal and the aircraft, often in wind, rain, and freezing conditions.
At larger hubs like Heathrow, Gatwick, Dublin, and Edinburgh, fleets of open and closed-top trailers run continuously. The sidewall curtains protect checked bags from rain and debris during the tow across the apron. Without them, airlines face damage claims and delays from wet or soiled luggage.
Regional airports such as Shannon, Belfast City, and Bristol also use curtained baggage carts, though fleet sizes are smaller. We supply single replacement curtains for these operations as readily as bulk orders for the major hubs.
Common Cart Types We Cover
- Open-top trailers with side curtains and optional rain flaps
- Closed-top (canopy) trailers with full sidewall replacement panels
- Dolly-style carts with clip-on or bungee-fastened covers
- Oversize/wide-body trailers for freight and outsize luggage
What to Consider When Ordering Replacement Curtains
Getting accurate measurements from your existing cart frame is the single most important step in the ordering process.
Measuring Your Cart
Measure the width and height of each side panel opening in millimetres. Note the grommet spacing on the frame (centre to centre) and the total number of grommets per side. If the original curtains are still attached, we can also work from photographs with a tape measure visible for scale.
Material Choice
Standard 18 oz vinyl suits most UK airport operations. For carts that spend long periods outside in direct sun, 22 oz UV-rated material gives a longer service life. Both options are available in a range of colours to match airline livery or ground handler branding.
Fastening and Mounting
Brass grommets are the default for most cart types. Stainless steel grommets are a better choice at coastal airports (e.g. Jersey, Guernsey, Newquay) where salt air accelerates corrosion. We can also supply twisted S-hooks, bungee cord loops, or Velcro strips depending on your frame design.

Common Questions About Baggage Cart Curtains
What materials are baggage cart curtains made from?
Our curtains are made from 18 oz or 22 oz PVC-coated vinyl. Both options are waterproof, UV-resistant, and rated for temperatures down to -20 °C or -30 °C respectively.
Can you supply curtains for any brand of baggage cart?
Yes. We make curtains to fit all major cart and trailer types used at UK and Irish airports. Send us your cart dimensions and grommet spacing, and we'll produce a perfect-fit replacement.
How are the curtains fastened to the cart frame?
Most carts use brass or stainless steel grommets with twisted S-hooks. We can also supply bungee cord loops or Velcro strips to match your existing mounting system.
What is the typical lead time for UK airport orders?
Standard orders ship within 2 to 3 weeks. Bulk fleet orders or custom-printed curtains may take slightly longer depending on the specification.
Can you add airline logos or branding to the curtains?
Yes. We offer custom printing so you can add airline logos, ground handler branding, or safety markings directly onto the curtain panels.
Do you supply single replacement curtains or only bulk orders?
We supply both. Whether you need one replacement panel for a damaged cart or a full set for a fleet of 200 trailers, we handle orders of any size.
Are the curtains suitable for coastal UK airports with salt air?
Yes. Stainless steel grommets and UV-rated 22 oz vinyl are recommended for coastal sites like Jersey, Newquay, and Belfast where salt corrosion is a concern.
How do I measure my cart for replacement curtains?
Measure the width and height of each side panel opening in millimetres, and note the grommet spacing (centre to centre). We can also work from photographs if a tape measure is visible for scale.
