Truck bodies and weight classes for commercial work
This range of tippers, dropsides, curtainsiders and box trucks lets you pick a body class to suit the goods rather than settle for one generic vehicle.
Every image and model name represents a vehicle group. The booking team confirms the available vehicle or a suitable similar option for the requested dates.
3.5 tonne box body with tail lift for larger moves and handled deliveries.
Tipper truck for site and trade work where booking terms allow.
Recovery truck for specialist bookings with driver and insurance checks.
7.5 tonne box truck with tail lift for heavier handled loads.
Curtainside body for pallet freight and warehouse-to-site deliveries.
Dropside truck for open loads, materials and site deliveries.
Heavier tipper for site work where operator and driver terms are met.
Sleeper cab and tail lift for longer commercial movements.
18 tonne box truck for regulated commercial logistics.
18 tonne curtainsider for palletised freight and larger commercial jobs.
26 tonne curtain side vehicle for larger loads and regulated haulage.
44 tonne sleeper for heavy-vehicle movements where licence and operator requirements are met.
Specify the load, sites and commercial use
Getting the right truck usually comes down to working through the load, the body, the driver, then the handover, in that order.
Describe the shape, weight and bulk of what you are moving first, then let that shape which body class actually fits.
The tonnage figure on a truck includes the vehicle itself, so the usable payload is always a smaller number than the class name suggests.
Heavier body classes call for specific driver entitlements, and the 18, 26 and 44 tonne trucks also need applicable operator credentials.
Agree how and where the truck goes back at the end of hire at the same time as you confirm the outbound delivery.
