Match equipment to the load

Vehicles and trailer bodies

Vehicle suitability depends on dimensions, weight, loading access, restraint and site conditions. These guides help you provide the details needed for a sound match.

Only curated records that pass the documented publication gate are shown here. These guides explain stable operational considerations; they are not live load or vehicle listings, and availability is confirmed for each real enquiry.

Flexible side-loading trailers

Curtain-siders and tautliners

Curtain-siders, often called tautliners, are widely used for palletised and general freight, but the curtains themselves must not be treated as a substitute for a suitable load-restraint system.

High-capacity road freight

Articulated lorries

An artic can provide substantial deck and payload capacity, but the tractor, trailer body, turning space, loading method and legal route all need to suit the movement.

Regional and access-sensitive freight

Rigid lorries

Rigid vehicles combine cab and body on one chassis and can be useful for regional, multi-drop or access-sensitive work, provided the exact class and body suit the freight.

Read the guide

Open-deck freight

Flatbeds

Flatbeds provide open loading access for freight that does not suit an enclosed body, but exposure, dimensions, weight distribution and restraint must be addressed before collection.

Temperature-controlled freight

Refrigerated vehicles

Temperature-sensitive goods need a suitable insulated and temperature-controlled body, plus clear instructions covering set point, acceptable range, preparation, loading and evidence.
