Compare van truck duty classes
Start with cargo dimensions and mass. Match the loading method to the rear and side doors, then check the floor and tie-downs. Consider the route, security and weather protection before choosing the duty class.
| Configuration | Duty and loading pattern | Enclosed cargo use | Route fit | Main advantage | Not suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Duty | Compact box body for hand-loaded and frequent-stop delivery | Parcels, retail goods and smaller protected loads | Urban last-mile and local service routes | Enclosed cargo protection with compact access | High-volume or heavy cargo beyond the confirmed chassis |
| Middle Duty | Balanced box volume for roll-cage, pallet or mixed loading | Regional retail, commercial and route-distribution cargo | City-to-region and repeated store delivery | Balances body volume, required payload and access | The tightest streets or the largest trunk-load envelope |
| Heavy Duty | Larger box-body configuration for planned dock or pallet handling | High-volume dry freight and hub-to-hub distribution | Regional and trunk routes with suitable loading facilities | Supports a larger enclosed cargo envelope | Low-volume urban work or temperature-controlled cargo without insulation |
