What Kind of Body Type Are You Looking For?

Good day! How was your Christmas day? 

Today, we would like to show you *some popular body type and the advantages they have.

 

What kind of body type are you looking for? There are many body types, such as Flat Body (Cargo), Van, Dump, Alum. Wing, Hood Wing/Van, and so on. 

* some popular body type = It is counted based on the number of our shipment since July this year

・Flat Body/Cargo Truck

 

Flat body truck has been most shipped in a half year!

 

What do you think is the advantage of it? When you would like to put the tall, heavy machinery and equipment which cannot put on an alum. wing/van, you can easily load and deliver them if you use flat body truck. And also, you can use it for a number of things because there are high deck, flat law and full flat law.

・Van

 

No. 2 is Van! Unlike flat body truck, it can protect cargo from rain, dust, direct sunlight, and against theft. Besides, there is no danger of goods falling while driving. 

 

On a side note, refrigerator van is also popular, because it is possible to avoid rising in temperature for goods. So, it is widely used for transportation of perishable foods, frozen foods and medicines.

 

・Dump

As you know, dump truck is mainly suitable for transporting sand and industrial waste and it can unload at one time.

 

Also, there is the type called “Fuka-dump” truck in Japan. The siding (board surrounding rear deck) is higher than general dump truck. In other words, the depth of the rear deck is deeper than the general one. “Fuka-dump” truck usually carries something light and bulky like feed, woodchips, and lime (material).

・Alum. Wing

 

Alum. Wing can be said that it is functional.

 

When driver loads something on van, loading to the back of rear deck result in decreasing efficiency.

In addition, it is bothering to go to the back of rear deck whenever unloading cargo. It takes more time and more efforts on the work, which makes drivers stressful and tired.


And also, that causes to grow in efficiency. Alum. Wing has the same advantage as van, which can protect cargo from rain, dust, and direct sunlight.

・Hood Van

Hood Van is light weight, so it makes possible to increase loading capacity compared to Van. And it is one of the attractions that you can purchase at a cheaper price and repair easily. 

 

There are two types of Hood Van; one type can open and close the rear part, and another one can open and close both of sides like a curtain. 

 

Mainly, it tends to have many small trucks, such as Mini cargo/van, 2 tons trucks, 4 tons trucks.
