Container truck chassis configurations are often denoted by number ranges, such as 6x2, 6x4, 8x4 and 8x6, which give specific information about the number of wheels and drive axles of the vehicle. For example, in a 6x2 container truck chassis configuration, the hook lift truck has six wheels, two of which are driven. The choice of a specific configuration depends on the nature of the transport, the weight of the load, the distances to be covered and the road conditions.
Euro standards, also known as emissions standards, are standards established to regulate harmful emissions from vehicles. For container trucks, there are different Euro standards, which specify the environmental standards the truck must meet. Major Euro standards for container trucks are Euro 3, Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6.
There are several kinds of roll-off and hook lift systems that place containers on and off the truck. Each system has the same purpose but is configured differently. It is important to choose a container system that fits your truck. In fact, not all trucks support the same system. For more information on the different container systems, continue reading below.
Skip loader systems, also known as skip loaders, are a stable way to load containers and other types of waste receptacles on and off a truck. Skip loader systems mainly benefit the truck's stability and reach. The containers are raised and lowered using a hydraulic system. This involves attaching lifting chains to the two long sides of the container. This type of truck is also known as a "roll-on-roll-off truck" or simply "RO-RO truck."
A hook lift is a system in which a hook loader is extended to place the container on a truck. The hook can grip a container, making it easy to move the container. Trucks with this system also bear the name of hook lift truck.
A truck with a chain system simply uses a chain to put containers on and off the truck. The driver can grab the container easily by operating the chain system. The system then pulls/drags the container into place.
A truck with cable lift system is lighter than most other container systems. As a result, these trucks have a higher payload. A cable system is a variant of the chain system. With this system, the container is pulled into place by a cable instead of a chain.
The DAF container truck system stands for reliability and versatility in the transportation industry. With configurations such as 6x2, 8x4 and 6x4, DAF trucks offer flexible solutions for various transportation needs.
