Five Things about Trucks.

Every few days I will attempt to write 5 things about trucks. I hope to get my semi-truck (HR) license in a few months so I've created this blog to help me prepare for it. I live in South Australia, and already have MR (Medium Rigid) and R (Motorcycle) license. For many years I loaded trucks in industry but that was years ago. I am returning to work so need to re-skill. There is a lot i need to learn and become re-familiar with. This is one way I intend to do it. Cheers.

Day 3 - Different truck body types.

1. Flatbed : chassis fitted with an open flat body on which goods are carried

2. Tippers : Open Top body that is tilted using a hydraulic arm to unload.

3. Curtain-siders : have a fixed, roof frame attached to the body and a flexible curtain fixed to both sides of the frame.

4. Box-bodies : have a solid rigid body and sides. Generally have rear roller shutters or solid doors to access.

5. Road Tankers : Used to transport liquids, gasses or powders, Road Tankers have a tank fitted permanently to the chassis.
