What is a tray truck used for?
As you'll likely be aware, tray top trucks boast large storage capacities not limited to the height or length of the platform. Flat, open trucks can often carry materials that are taller or longer than the truck itself, as long as no safety regulations are violated.
Tray trucks can be also used for debris, vehicles, motorcycles, construction materials, heavy equipment, and other materials.
However, since tray trucks have no roofs, they are typically not suitable for the transport of temperature-sensitive and perishable goods like food, medicines, and flowers. Aside from hauling cargo and construction debris, tray trucks can also be fitted with side cages or walls to secure your items. This makes them more suitable for transporting fragile goods like furniture.
The flat tray trucks you'll find for sale in Melbourne have a no-frills design and a lighter body compared to regular large trailer trucks. This allows you to move more materials faster, which is crucial for business. Construction sites, for instance, have to lug a lot of aggregate and equipment around with limited time to work with. Versatile tray top trucks will help make the moving process faster and more efficient.
Alternatively, tray trucks can also come with either tipping or tilting mechanisms. In tilting tray trucks, the rear end of the platform touches the ground, allowing you to load vehicles, wheeled equipment, and even shipping containers easily. Tipping trucks, on the other hand, are great for loading sand, gravel, asphalt, and other loose construction materials. As their name suggests, tipping trucks simply tip over or pour your cargo wherever you need it to be. Check our listings for tray trucks for sale in Melbourne for your preferred type of tray truck.
