Why Do Different Haulage Jobs Need Different Vehicles?
Different haulage jobs require different vehicles because every load has unique size, weight, handling, and environmental needs of the cargo. Using the right vehicle improves safety, loading efficiency, regulatory compliance, and delivery reliability while reducing the risk of cargo damage and unnecessary transport costs.
Different vehicles are designed to meet different transport requirements:
- Curtain-sided trucks : Ideal for palletised freight, FMCG goods, retail stock, and general haulage requiring quick side loading and unloading. Carry around 26 pallets with payloads of approximately 24–28 tonnes.
- Refrigerated transport : Used for temperature-controlled goods such as food, pharmaceuticals, frozen products, and other perishables. Temperature requirements should always be confirmed before booking.
- Vans : Suitable for smaller consignments, urgent deliveries, courier work, and urban distribution. Payload limits must be checked to avoid overloading.
- Rigid trucks : Designed for medium to heavy commercial freight, regional deliveries, and restricted-access locations. Suitable for approximately 8–18 pallets depending on vehicle size.
- Flatbed trailers : Best for oversized, irregular, or crane-loaded cargo such as steel, timber, and machinery. Load securing and dimensions must be confirmed.
