Compare stake truck duty classes
Define cargo dimensions and mass, then stake height and spacing. Establish the need for ventilation or an open body. Match the loading method to the deck and tailgate, and confirm restraints. Check weather exposure and the route before choosing the duty class.
| Configuration | Duty and body pattern | Open cargo use | Route fit | Main advantage | Not suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Duty | Compact stake body for manual and light mechanized loading | Smaller agricultural, service and building-material loads | Urban, rural and local delivery routes | Flexible open access with a compact chassis | Weather-sensitive or heavy cargo beyond the confirmed duty |
| Middle Duty | Balanced deck and stake arrangement for mixed loading | Regional agricultural, material and general open cargo | City-to-region and rural distribution | Balances body capacity, ventilation and access | The tightest routes or cargo requiring a sealed body |
| Heavy Duty | Larger stake-body configuration for planned high-volume loading | Higher-volume materials and regional open-body transport | Regional and trunk routes with suitable loading sites | Supports a larger open cargo and restraint envelope | Low-volume urban work or unrestrained weather-sensitive cargo |
