Dutch term or phrase: boxoplegger
In a text about transport and trailers (opleggers), I am not sure how to translate "air cargo boxopleggers". It appears in a list of trailers purchased by a company, such as these trailers and also schuifzeilopleggers.

I have seen on Google that the term "box trailer" is used in English, but I'm not sure whether that is what I should use here. As "box" in Dutch can also be to do with storage, I'm wondering if they mean "air cargo STORAGE trailers".

Thanks in advance for any help.

Explanation:
Gesloten oplegger met wanden en dak van aluminium of kunststof en deuren aan de achterzijde. Een schuifzeiloplegger (ook een vraag?) wordt vertaald met 'tautliner'. Een oplegger met vaste zijden behalve de zijkanten. De zeilen aan beide zijkanten kunnen als een gordijn worden opengeschoven en worden vastgezet met spanbanden. Meestal gebruikt voor vervoer van gepalletiseerde ladingen.
