Although they serve the same purpose, not all delivery trucks are designed the same way. Various industries involving delivery of heavy-weight materials in large quantity use trucks that come in different types according to their use and structure. Below is a short list of the different types of delivery trucks offered by Ontario dealers. Freightliners This type of delivery truck belongs to the family of semi-trucks or simply semi, but still serves full trucking reliability. Freightliners are considered medium to heavy-duty trucks intended for delivering various types of large cargo loads, from dry goods to small vehicles. You can usually see these freightliners on highways, as they are often used for commercial deliveries. Mail Trucks Federal post offices and corporate mail delivery companies do not use just any type of truck, but mail trucks. This type is the smallest in size as it travels through small neighborhoods. Unlike other trucks, some mail trucks are designed with steering wheels and pedals on the right side. This is to enable the driver in accessing the mailboxes typically located on the right side of the road. Refrigerator Trucks When delivery products need to be kept cold, a refrigerator truck must be used. As the name suggests, this type of truck is intended for delivery of frozen items such as meat, fish, ice tubes, and ice cream. Take note the refrigerator trucks are not really cold in the cab area. Most branded trucks like the Isuzu NPR Ontario dealers offer have cargo areas treated with cooling agent in the form of carbon dioxide. Tank Trucks Also considered as a semi-truck, tank trucks are intended for transporting hazardous materials such as fuel. This type of truck comes in light, medium, and heavy duty based on its carrying capacities. Light tank trucks can carry up to 1000 gallons of liquid such as water and oil, while medium duty trucks can carry up to 4000 gallons. Heavy duty tank trucks can transport up to 9000 gallons and can be insulated or non-insulated. Insulated trucks Ontario dealers have are intended for transporting flammable liquid or gas. Wide Loads A wide load truck can be easily identified by its flashing lights and yellow signage which serve as indicators when they travel along major highways. Wide loads are also designed with flat beds intended for carrying construction elements, prebuilt homes, and any other cargos that are heavier than traditional ones. Flat bed trucks Ontario dealers can offer usually require special permits to be operated and extra cabs in their front and back ends.
