There are many options to choose from when it comes to truck chassis and body types. Depending on your intended use, materials to be transported, and specific work requirements, you can choose the ideal truck build. Curious about the options? Read more here about the most common truck body types.
Is it important to lift loads in and out of the vehicle? Then a crane truck (also known as a truck with crane) is the ideal solution. Trucks with loading cranes come in various configurations with different lifting capacities and outreach. Some models also allow remote crane operation using a remote control.
A tipper truck, also known as a dumper or dump truck, is mainly used for transporting sand, gravel, soil, debris and other building materials. As the name suggests, tipper trucks unload their cargo by extending a hydraulic cylinder to tip and release the load. Tippers make it easy to transport, load and unload construction materials at any location.
A box truck can be used for a range of purposes and is also known as a closed box truck. Finding the right box truck can be a challenge due to the wide variety available. Think of box trucks with tailgates, with different heights or weight classes. Fortunately, basworld.com offers more than enough options to find what you need.
A flatbed truck or open box truck is a convenient and simple way to transport goods. You can choose between trucks with only a platform or ones with drop sides along the edge for better cargo protection. Flatbeds without sides are suitable for wider loads. A tailgate is usually fitted at the rear.
A container truck is ideal for transporting containers. But the systems can differ significantly. Each container truck may use a different type of loading system, for example a hook lift, chain system, skip loader system or cable system. Some are designed for smaller containers in city environments, while others are suited to larger freight containers.
A refrigerated truck (also known as a reefer, or freezer truck for models that go below zero) is primarily used to transport items like food and flowers. That’s why refrigerated trucks are a popular choice for city deliveries. A multi-temp refrigerated truck is ideal for transporting various chilled goods, as it creates different temperature zones within the same truck.
A truck with BDF swap body is essential for fast and efficient loading and unloading of containers. These BDF systems, also known as swap body systems, are easy to use. The truck lowers itself to drive under a container. Once it raises and secures the container, it’s ready to go.
It’s often difficult to decide which truck best suits you and your business. These vehicles are used for many different purposes because of their specific models and designs. Below, we compare some of the leading models and their key differences.
The DAF LF is the most compact truck in the range of the Dutch brand DAF Trucks. It’s ideal for city distribution thanks to its manoeuvrability and light weight. The DAF CF is a versatile all-rounder suitable for both regional and national transport, offering a balance between power and efficiency. The DAF XF is designed for long-distance haulage, with extra comfort and fuel efficiency on the motorway. The DAF XG and XG+ go one step further with more cabin space, premium features and advanced technology. These models are specially developed for maximum driver comfort and aerodynamics on international routes.
The Mercedes-Benz Atego is ideal for light distribution in urban areas: compact, agile and reliable. The Antos is designed for regional distribution, with a focus on efficiency and load capacity. The Arocs is the go-to choice for the construction sector, being rugged, powerful and built for tough conditions on rough terrain. The Actros is the flagship for long-distance transport, with advanced safety systems, high fuel efficiency and ultimate driving comfort on international journeys.
The MAN TGL is a light, agile truck that’s perfect for urban distribution and short-haul trips. The TGM offers more load capacity and flexibility, making it suitable for regional operations. The TGS is robust and versatile, ideal for construction and heavy-duty distribution. The TGX is designed for international transport, focusing on power, comfort and efficiency, making it the top choice for long-haul drivers.
The Volvo FE is compact and easy to manoeuvre, making it ideal for city deliveries and waste collection.

Trucks (like tractor units) are available in various configurations designed to meet specific requirements. These configurations are mostly defined by the number of axles and wheels, which directly affect payload, manoeuvrability and usage. A commonly used configuration is the 4x2, with four wheels of which two are powered. For heavier loads and better stability, there’s the 6x2 configuration, with six wheels and two driven. Another option is the 8x4 configuration, perfect for very heavy loads, with eight wheels of which four are driven.
Euro standards are key regulations in the European Union that define emission limits for vehicles. They aim to improve air quality and reduce emissions from heavy vehicles. Today, new trucks comply with Euro 6, while used trucks may still be Euro 5 or Euro 4. If you need a light truck that’s allowed in urban areas, we recommend choosing Euro 6. More and more major cities now make this a requirement.
