Wing Van Truck

Wing van sizes and side-loading space
A wing van, also called a wing-body truck, lifts its rigid side panels to open the cargo deck for side loading. Start with the space your pallets need inside. The clear opening and the room required above and beside the moving wing are separate measurements. Light, middle and heavy duty are body-family labels, not fixed payload ratings. The dimensions guide shows catalog ranges and a sample pallet layout.
| Configuration | Duty and wing-opening pattern | Pallet and cargo use | Route fit | Main advantage | Not suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Duty | Compact wing-opening body for smaller pallet and display loads | Urban retail, event and fast-access distribution cargo | Local routes with confirmed side and overhead opening space | Large side opening on a compact delivery vehicle | Sites without wing clearance or heavy loads beyond the chassis |
| Middle Duty | Balanced wing body for repeated forklift or pallet access | Regional retail and commercial distribution | City-to-region routes with planned unloading areas | Balances body volume, access and manoeuvrability | Tight kerbside sites without safe opening space |
| Heavy Duty | Larger wing-body configuration for high-volume mechanized loading | Palletized regional and hub distribution cargo | Logistics sites with full wing and forklift clearance | Opens most of the body side for rapid loading | Restricted sites, overhead obstructions or low-volume routes |
