At Hegaload, we recognize the importance of matching the right vehicle and equipment type to each unique load. Our platform offers a diverse range of equipment options to cater to the varied needs of our users. This blog aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the different equipment types available on Hegaload and their specific uses.

1. B Train

B Train trailers are used for transporting large quantities of freight over long distances. These trailers are known for their stability and capacity, making them ideal for heavy loads that need to be hauled efficiently.

2. Container

Containers are versatile and commonly used for intermodal freight transport. They can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation such as ships, trains, and trucks, which makes them ideal for international shipping and long-distance transport.

3. Curtain Side

Curtain side trailers are designed for easy loading and unloading of goods. The sides of the trailer can be drawn back like curtains, providing full access to the cargo area. This equipment type is particularly useful for transporting palletized goods.

4. Double Deck

Double deck trailers have two levels for cargo, allowing for increased load capacity without increasing the length of the trailer. This type is often used in industries that need to transport a large volume of lighter goods.

5. Flat Bed

Flat bed trailers are versatile and can be used to transport a wide variety of loads, including oversized equipment and construction materials. The open design of a flat bed makes it easy to load and unload, but it requires the cargo to be securely fastened.

6. Dump Trailer

Dump trailers are used for transporting loose materials such as sand, gravel, or demolition waste. They are designed with a hydraulic lift that allows the bed to be tilted and the contents to be dumped at the delivery site.

7. Floats

Float trailers, also known as lowboy trailers, are designed for carrying heavy and oversized loads that cannot be transported by standard trailers. They have a lower deck height, which provides the stability needed for hauling large construction equipment and machinery.

8. Rack & Tarp

Rack and tarp trailers offer the flexibility of a flat bed with added protection from the elements. The cargo is secured with a rack system and covered with a tarp, making it suitable for transporting weather-sensitive goods.

9. Reefer

Reefer trailers are refrigerated trailers used for transporting perishable goods that need to be kept at a specific temperature. They are essential for the food and pharmaceutical industries, where maintaining the cold chain is critical.

10. Step Deck

Step deck trailers, also known as drop deck trailers, have a lower deck height compared to flat beds, allowing them to carry taller loads without exceeding height restrictions. They are used for transporting oversized equipment that cannot be transported on a standard flat bed.

11. Straight Truck

Straight trucks, also known as box trucks, have a fixed cargo area and are commonly used for local deliveries and moving services. They are ideal for transporting goods in urban areas where maneuverability is important.

12. Super B

Super B trailers consist of two trailers connected by a fifth wheel and are commonly used in Canada. They offer high capacity and stability, making them suitable for transporting heavy and bulk goods over long distances.

13. Van/Dry Box

Van trailers, also known as dry vans, are enclosed trailers used for transporting goods that do not require refrigeration. They provide protection from the elements and are widely used for transporting a variety of non-perishable goods.
