Many people choose a flat body 2 ton truck because of its low price, but what advantages and disadvantages does a flat body truck have?

From here, in addition to the advantages and disadvantages of the flat body truck, we will introduce the dimensions of the truck bed of each manufacture.

Advantages of flat body trucks

The advantage of the flat body truck is that it is an open deck truck bed, so it can carry large luggage such as furniture, large household appliances, building materials, and industrial equipment without being limited to the shape.

It is possible to handle without limiting the loading and unloading methods, for example, handling manually and using forklifts and cranes. It has also a great advantage that it can be parked in a place with a low ceiling, where an aluminum van cannot be parked.

In addition, flat body trucks are reasonably priced compared to aluminum van trucks and wing trucks, so you can purchase them on a cheap budget.

Disadvantages of flat body trucks

The flat body truck, which can be purchased at a reasonable price compared to aluminum vans, has the advantage that you can load cargoes without limiting the shape and the method to unload. But there is a disadvantage that it is easily affected by the weather.

Since the trunk bed of the flat body truck is exposed, the cargo is easy to get dirty due to rain and wind, and the cargo may be scattered or dropped when the load collapse, which is a demerit.

Therefore, when loading cargo on a flat body, it is necessary to pay more attention to control the cargo and driving, such as fixing the cargo and covering it with a seat.
