14ft/16ft and 20ft Box Trucks
Payload
14/16ft Box Truck payload is 6000lbs (3 tons) (including cargo and passengers).

20ft Box Truck payload is 8000lbs (4 tons) (including cargo and passengers).

We feature Mitsubishi Fuso and Isuzu diesel box trucks. These are also known as “canters” and “NPR/NQR” They are equipped with ramps or hydraulic liftgates. These trucks are world renowned for their reliability, fuel economy and ease of operation. Automatic transmissions and a very tight turning radius make these trucks the best choice for experienced commercial drivers and novices alike.

Liftgate Styles
Liftgates come in different styles. Our fleet includes: tuck away and rail gates.

Tuck away
Tuck away liftgates are “tucked under” the truck until they are needed. This means they are forklift friendly. Since you cannot drive a forklift on top of a liftgate (even when lowered to the ground without breaking or damaging it) this is the best choice when using a forklift. These are a great choice when moving: a household, equipment, furniture, have limited moving space or you just prefer the versatility. You can use pallet jacks with this type of gate however rail gates are wider which gives them more space to maneuver. If you are using a forklift lift and pallet jack, definitely use this style!

Rail gates
Rail gates sit in front of the cargo area. This means that for the box trucks with rail gates, the gate must be lowered down before the cargo box can be accessed. People like rail gates because they have a large “one piece” surface area (platfom) to put your items on. These are ideal for: tool boxes, gun safes, large equipment, appliances, furniture, household and commercial moves etc

These are pallet jack, rack, and cart friendly

Liftgate load capacity
weight range is from 1600 lbs to 3300lbs depending on the truck. The standard liftgate capacity is 2000lbs (1 ton).

Rail Gate weight capacity
We have 3 rail gate box trucks. A 14ft with a lift load capacity of 1800 lbs. And two 16ft, one with a 2000lb lift capacity and one with a 1600lb lift capacity. These gate have a large one piece platform perfect for large machinery, equipment and other items.
