Dry Freight Bodies Updated
Dry freight truck bodies are designed to transport cargo that does not require active temperature control. Their enclosed design protects products from rain, snow, dust, sunlight, and road debris, making them one of the most versatile commercial truck body types available.
Common cargo includes furniture, appliances, packaged food products, beverages that do not require refrigeration, paper products, retail inventory, office equipment, electronics, household goods, building materials, plumbing supplies, HVAC equipment, automotive parts, tires, industrial components, and e-commerce shipments. Many moving companies, distributors, contractors, rental fleets, and parcel delivery operators rely on dry freight bodies because they can accommodate a wide variety of loads.
The cargo area can also be configured to suit specific applications. Shelving systems help organize service parts and parcel deliveries, while cargo-control systems such as E-track or logistics posts secure freight during transport. Liftgates simplify loading heavy equipment, and specialized flooring improves durability when forklifts or pallet jacks are used regularly.
Dry freight truck bodies are not intended for products that require refrigerated or frozen temperatures. Perishable foods, pharmaceuticals, certain chemicals, and other temperature-sensitive goods should be transported in insulated refrigerated truck bodies equipped with a properly sized refrigeration unit.
