Truck bodies and weight classes for commercial work
Review the 3.5-to-44-tonne range by separating three decisions: usable payload, body configuration and handling method.
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
Work through the goods in the order they will be handled, then add the booking and driver information needed for a focused discussion.
List each crate, pallet, machine or loose item separately, including its weight and three principal dimensions.
Record whether each part is boxed, palletised, loose or awkwardly shaped so the handling requirement is not hidden by a total figure.
Explain how the goods will go onto the truck, how they must be secured and how they will come off.
Set out the intended driver's licence position and any applicable operator credentials before a vehicle category is considered.
