RIGID LORRY & TRUCK HIRE
For logistics and distribution operators, maintaining a reliable fleet is crucial. With rigid hire, companies can ensure their operations run smoothly with vehicles designed for various transport needs. This section provides an overview of asset management specifically for rigid vehicles.
Rigid vehicles play a vital role in the transportation and logistics industry. Unlike articulated vehicles, rigid trucks have a single chassis, providing a practical and versatile solution for a range of transport requirements. They can also be fitted with demountable box bodies, offering additional flexibility for businesses that need to switch between different loads or configurations.
Rigid vehicles are available in different tonnage and body configurations to suit a range of operational requirements. These include rigid box, refrigerated, dual-temperature, curtainside, and flatbed/dropside with crane vehicles. Effective asset management ensures optimal performance, minimal downtime, and adherence to compliance standards.

- Rigid box
- Refrigerated
- Dual temperature
- Curtainside
- Flatbed/dropside with crane
- Hazardous
- Demount

Payload capacity should be considered alongside the type of body required. For example, refrigerated vehicles are suitable for transporting perishable goods, while curtainside vehicles provide flexibility for loading and unloading from the sides.
26T RIGIDS
Available body types:
- Rigid box
- Refrigerated
- Dual temperature
- Curtainside
- Flatbed/dropside with crane

Businesses should assess their typical cargo weight, loading requirements and intended use when selecting the most appropriate 26T rigid vehicle.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT RIGID FOR YOUR OPERATION
Choosing the right rigid vehicle depends on the requirements of your operation, including the typical cargo weight, required payload capacity and the type of goods being transported.
The available body configurations provide different options for loading and transporting goods. Rigid box vehicles can provide enclosed transport, while curtainside vehicles offer flexibility for loading and unloading from the sides. Flatbed/dropside vehicles with cranes can support different loading requirements, while refrigerated and dual-temperature vehicles are suitable for goods requiring temperature control.
Businesses should consider these requirements alongside the available vehicle tonnage, from 7.5T through to 26T, to identify a rigid that is appropriate for their regular operations.
