How Many Types of Trucks Are There?

[SanAnastasia]

Trucks can be classified into light trucks, medium-duty trucks, and heavy-duty trucks. They can also be categorized into general-purpose trucks and special-purpose trucks. Based on load capacity, trucks are divided into: Mini: total mass ≤1.8 tons; Light: 1.8 tons < total mass ≤6 tons; Medium: 6 tons < total mass ≤14 tons; Heavy: total mass >14 tons. Trucks can also be classified by purpose: 1. General-Purpose Trucks: These include open-type (flatbed) and closed-type (box-type) trucks designed to carry goods within their cargo space. 2. Multi-Purpose Trucks: Multi-purpose trucks are primarily designed and structured for carrying goods but are equipped with fixed or foldable seats behind the driver's seat, allowing them to transport more than three passengers. 3. Full-Trailer Tractors: Full-trailer tractors are connected to the towed trailer via the tractor's own tow hook and the trailer's connecting rod, including electrical and braking system connections. They can also carry goods on their attached cargo platform.
