Utility Trucks
Utility trucks are robust workhorses that sit in a category of their own between mini trucks and medium-duty to heavy trucks. Utility trucks come with cargo space and drawers for tools.
Types of Utility Trucks
Utility trucks are classified according to their build:
- Standard bodies
- Crane bodies
- Steel bodies
- Enclosed bodies
- Dump bodies
Standard Bodies
Standard body utility trucks have side storage drawers for tools and a flat truck bed for cargo.
Landscape Bodies
Landscape bodies have the side storage removed and a bed like a dump truck’s is added.
Enclosed Bodies
Enclosed body trucks come with a fully enclosed truck bed that makes them resemble vans.
Platform Bodies
Platform bodies replace the utility truck bed with a flatbed.
Crane Bodies
A crane body utility truck is one with a crane on its bed.
Steel Bodies
Steel body utility trucks are built of steel. They’re heavier than standard body trucks which are built with aluminum
Dump Bodies
Dump bodies have side storage drawers and a dump bed in the middle.
