Classification of equipment by Body Style

Regardless of the type and the type of cargo transport unit, the body are classified by their purpose: metal, stones, tilts, refrigerators, isothermal, dump trucks, tanks, low loaders trawls and platforms.

Solid – from the other body types are distinguished by the presence of metal walls, which significantly increases body strength and safety of the cargo during transportation. The all-metal body is only one way to load / unload – back.

Side – one of the oldest types of lorries. Body parts is an open platform with four sides that can be lowered for loading / unloading. Used mainly for the transport of building materials, steel and shipping does not require special conditions for transportation.

Tilt – the most common and popular form of bodywork of the car. Ability to use any type of loading and unloading. Tilt mounted on racks that can be removable or fixed, with a special lacing. A variation of tilt-body shell is the so-called “blind”, which is moved by a roller mechanism. Used to transport different types of cargo.

Refrigerators – modified insulated body, which is equipped with a special refrigeration unit that keeps the temperature at a given level in the whole of the carriage. It is used for transporting perishable goods requiring special temperature conditions.

Isothermal – kind of an all-metal body, the walls of which consist of a special heat-insulating materials that can store low temperature inside the body. Used for the carriage of goods that may be damaged during transportation from the high temperature should be avoided.

Tipper – kind of an all-metal body-board open. It equipped with a hydraulic mechanism designed to automatically unload the cargo. Tailgate truck mounted on hinges, allowing under gravity in the tilted open and unload cargo. It is intended for transportation of bulk cargo construction (sand, gravel, and etc.).

Tanks – metal body type which is made of steel or aluminum, may be circular, elliptical, a form of “suitcase” and is used for transportation, liquid, powder and gaseous cargo types. Round tank has greater strength because it is inside the pressure load is evenly distributed on the weight of the wall, the tank is compact in the form of an ellipse by height, in the form of tank “suitcase” has shifted the center of gravity to the bottom thereof, which increases its stability. Tanks are both single-section or divided into several sections.

Platforms and low loaders trawls – a special service vehicles, designed for transport of large and oversized cargo. This technique is characterized by ultra-high capacity of up to 200 t., And the presence of special fixing devices.
