Dry van versus a Conestoga? Lowboy versus a gooseneck? Even if you\u2019re not sure what equipment you might need to move your important freight shipment, the experts at Logistics Plus probably have what you need \u2013 or they can get it for you. But in case you\u2019re really curious, here\u2019s a quick primer on the different trucking equipment types you might encounter.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-5583 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logisticsplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2015\/05\/Straight-Truck.png\" alt=\"trucking equipment types\" width=\"250\" height=\"162\" \/>Box Truck<\/strong>\r\nA box truck, also known as a cube truck, cube van, box van, or straight truck, is a truck that carries cargo on the same chassis as the power unit and cab. These trucks are often used to move furniture, home goods, and smaller items, or for \u201chot-shot\u201d expedited freight deliveries.\r\n\r\nMax Freight dimensions: (Length - 48-53 feet, Width - 8 feet, Height - 9 feet)\r\nMax Freight Weight: 7,000-10,000 lbs.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-5584 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logisticsplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2015\/05\/DryVanTrailer.png\" alt=\"trucking equipment types\" width=\"250\" height=\"130\" \/>Dry Van (Enclosed) Trailer<\/strong>\r\nDry Van trailers are generally enclosed and are commonly used to carry and protect freight from the harmful elements of the weather or the roads. Your shipment can be loaded on the rear of the trailer, normally using a loading dock. In cases where a loading dock is not available, some trailers come equipped with liftgates that can help get your freight from the ground to the trailer and back again.\r\n\r\nMax Freight Dimensions (53' ft. Dry Van): (Length - 12-26 feet, Width - 6-7.5 feet, Height - 7 feet)\r\nMax Freight Weight: 45,000 lbs.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-5585 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logisticsplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2015\/05\/FlatBedTrailer.png\" alt=\"FlatBedTrailer\" width=\"250\" height=\"135\" \/>Flatbed Trailers<\/strong>\r\nFlatbeds are extremely popular and are widely used because they are very versatile. Generally, a flatbed is used to load freights on its tip, sides, and rear. With these capabilities, flatbeds have become the primary and leading assets of the trucking industry.\r\n\r\nMax Freight Dimensions: (Length - 48 feet, Width - 8.5 feet, Height - 9 feet)\r\nMax Freight Weight: 48,000 lbs.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-5586 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logisticsplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2015\/05\/StepDeckTrailer.png\" alt=\"StepDeckTrailer\" width=\"250\" height=\"135\" \/>Stepdeck (Single-Drop) Trailers<\/strong>\r\nStepdeck Trailers are otherwise known as drop decks, and they are actually a variation of the flatbed trailer design that mainly consists of a bottom and top deck. These trailers are specifically designed to haul freight that cannot be transported on a standard type of flatbed, often due to height restrictions. Step decks can be open, or they can also be enclosed in a dry van or Conestoga-style trailer.\r\n\r\nMax Freight Dimensions (for the main deck): (Length - 37 feet, Width - 8.5 feet, Height - 10 feet)\r\nMax Freight Weight: 48,000 lbs.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-5587 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logisticsplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2015\/05\/Conestoga-Trailer.png\" alt=\"Conestoga-Trailer\" width=\"250\" height=\"139\" \/>Conestoga Trailers<\/strong>\r\nConestoga trailers come with a rolling tarp system used to cover and uncover the trailer and protect the freight. The benefit of a Conestoga trailer is that the tarp can be rolled back to allow side loading or unloading of freight.\r\n\r\nMax Freight Dimensions: (Length - 48-53 feet, Width - 8 feet, Height - 8 feet)\r\nMax Freight Weight: 45,000 lbs.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-5588 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logisticsplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2015\/05\/RGN-Trailer.png\" alt=\"trucking equipment types\" width=\"250\" height=\"133\" \/>RGN (Removable Gooseneck) Trailers<\/strong>\r\nRGN or Removable Gooseneck Trailers are excellent for carrying tall or long freight. An RGN trailer comes with a detachable front, which can be dropped on the ground to create a ramp. It is capable of carrying freight weighing up to 150,000 pounds. It can go from 3 axles up to 20 plus axles for heavier shipments. RGN Trailers are more specialized, so they are also generally more expensive.\r\n\r\nMax Freight Dimensions (for the main deck): (Length - 29 feet, Width - 8.5 feet, Height - 12 feet)\r\nMax Freight Weight: 45,000 lbs.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-5589 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logisticsplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2015\/05\/Stretch-RGN-Trailer.png\" alt=\"trucking equipment types\" width=\"250\" height=\"106\" \/>Stretch RGN Trailers<\/strong>\r\nThe Stretch RGN or Removable Gooseneck Trailer is designed to haul freight that is too long to be carried by a standard type of RGN. Depending on the weight of the freight, axles may range from 3 axles or higher. This means that the heavier the load is, the more axles are to be used.\r\n\r\nMax Freight Dimensions (for the main deck): (Length - 38-63 feet, Width - 8 feet, Height - 10 feet)\r\nMax Freight Weight: 45,000 lbs.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-5590 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logisticsplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2015\/05\/Lowboy-trailer.png\" alt=\"Lowboy-trailer\" width=\"250\" height=\"119\" \/>Lowboy (Double-Drop) Trailer<\/strong>\r\nA Lowboy Trailer is an unpowered trailer that is commonly used to haul freight. These kinds of trailers are generally designed to carry and transport taller items. This means that the items carried by a Lowboy Trailer are taller than the legal height of items commonly carried by flatbeds. The types of trailers are also good for hosteling freight between loading docks or within a freight yard.\r\n\r\nMax Freight dimensions (for the main deck): (Length - 29 feet, Width - 8.5 feet, Height - 11.5 feet)\r\nMax Freight Weight: 45,000 lbs.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-5591 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logisticsplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2015\/05\/Reefer-Trailer.png\" alt=\"trucking equipment types\" width=\"250\" height=\"140\" \/>Refrigerated (Reefer) Trailers<\/strong>\r\nA refrigerated trailer is a temperature-controlled unit.
