A job this truck is built for

Sixteen pallets of DC replenishment, or a crane body for freight that no forklift at the far end can take off; the biggest rigid before a trailer is needed. With the deck full, the payload works out at about 780 kg a pallet on average; heavier pallets than that and the weight runs out before the floor does.

How the pallets sit on the deck

16 positions, two across and 8 along, standard 1165 by 1165 pallets on the floor, not double stacked. Schematic from the configuration on file; the deck is drawn to its internal length and width.

Is this the right size?

Pick the vehicle by the pallet count and the weight, in that order. A load that fits on the floor can still be over the payload, and a light load can still run out of positions. If you are near the line, quote both sizes and take the cheaper one. Either side of this vehicle:

Questions about the Heavy Rigid

How many pallets fit on a heavy rigid?

16 pallet positions. That is standard 1165 by 1165 Australian pallets on the floor, not double stacked. Double stacking is quoted separately because it depends on the height and the strength of your freight.

What can a heavy rigid carry?

Up to 12.5 t of freight. Load volume is 64 cubic metres.

What licence does a heavy rigid need?

A HR class licence as a minimum. The driver and the vehicle are both confirmed on the job sheet before the run.

Can I get a price without calling?

Yes. Put the pickup, the delivery and the freight into the quote tool and every vehicle that fits comes back priced, this one included. No form, no wait.

How are the pallets arranged on a heavy rigid?

16 positions, two across and 8 along, standard 1165 by 1165 pallets on the floor, not double stacked. The diagram on this page numbers the positions from the headboard, so position one goes on first and comes off last. On a multi-drop run the last delivery is loaded first and the first delivery sits at the door.
