Learn More About Heavy Trucks For Sale At Ritchie Bros.
Transport trucks and freight trucks are medium to heavy duty trucks that are designed to haul different types of cargo. They consist of a truck cab, generally a vocational truck, that has a hitch in the rear of the chassis which allows connection to a trailer. The types of hitched trailers can vary between open trailers or van trailers. Van trailers are commonly used for transporting smaller freight items such as consumer goods, while open trailers can be used to transport other vehicles or heavy machinery.
In the United States, transport trucks that fall under "heavy trucks" are classified as Class 7 or Class 8 trucks. In other regions, heavy transport truck classifications go by gross vehicle weight.
What type of fuel is used for transport trucks?
Since the main purpose of commercial trucks is to transport goods, most models of transport trucks utilize diesel engines for a variety of reasons. For starters, diesel offers a higher fuel efficiency which is crucial as it allows for driving longer distances with heavy loads. Secondly, diesel engines provide more cost savings as they require less maintenance and are a cheaper fuel source compared to gas.
What are the different types of transport & commercial trucks?
Truck Tractors
Truck tractors, also known as semi-trucks, are one of the most common and popular trucks for transporting goods. It's common to see truck tractors connected to some type of cargo van trailers via a fifth wheel hitch.
Box Trucks
Box trucks, also known as straight trucks, are essentially a smaller version of semi-trucks with a cargo trailer but are considered medium duty trucks. Most models range between a class 3 to class 6, but some models have a gross weight rating to that of a class 7. The next differentiating factor is the cargo box. They come in a variety of sizes from 10ft to 26ft and are generally fixed to the chassis of the truck.
Reefer Trucks
Reefer trucks or refrigerated trucks are box trucks that have a refrigeration unit attached to the cargo box which keeps the cargo at a desired temperature.
Cab & Chassis Trucks
Cab and chassis trucksconsist of a vocational truck cab or a semi-truck cab and the chassis rails. This allows for customization of the truck to attach various beds as per the truck's intended use. This can turn the truck into a service truck, a mechanic's truck or even a straight truck if required.
