Match the job
What determines the right truck size?
Material density, legal payload, site access and the required number of loads all affect the choice.
Material type and estimated quantity
Loading and unloading method
Site access, entrance width and turning room
Route, distance and operating conditions
Check the material before choosing a truck
The same volume can produce very different load weights depending on the material and moisture. Declare the material accurately so the truck can be matched safely.
