For a Full Truck Load, a 40 t truck with the following dimensions is at your disposal:
- max. Load weight: 24 tons
- max. Height: 2.45 m
- max. Length: 13.60 m
- max. Width: 2.40 m
For optimum use of the loading space, use Euro pallets measuring 120 x 80 cm. In order to also make use of the height of the loading space when shipping a Full Truck Load, it can be useful to stack the goods. The requirement is that the goods below are stable and the goods above are light enough for stacking.
When loading the truck, transport safety, for which drivers and shippers are responsible, should not be neglected.
