Box trucks are a common sight on city streets every day. A closer look reveals the fact that, more and more, these short-haul, medium-load carriers are curtainside bodies. The Class B box truck in lengths up to 26 feet is the workhorse of local delivery. Companies ship items ranging from small boxes to mattresses to wall-sized flat-screens, all bound for local and regional destinations. The capacity to handle a wider variety of loads than a cargo van, combined with the economy of operating a truck smaller than a tractor-trailer, makes the workaday box truck a major player in the business of moving freight. Here are some of the reasons why curtainsides are becoming more common in that market:
Unlike a van trailer
that can be unhitched
from the tractor and exchanged for a flatbed, the cargo box is permanently mounted on the chassis of a box truck. A curtain side body optimize the flexibility of this configuration because they enable the accommodation of both larger freight that needs side access to load and unload, as well as smaller loads added and removed through the rear door, all in a single vehicle.
Quick stops and speedy loading and unloading
are the reality in urban areas where pickups and deliveries to small firms must be accomplished from a curb loading zone or with the truck temporarily parked on the street. Where off-street docks and/or helping hands arent available, the expedited option of retracting curtains for instant access to the cargo from either side, then quickly drawing the curtains again and getting underway to the next stop is a major perk for box truck drivers and their schedulers.
