Cargo of up to 20 tonnes in UAE

Finding a truck for transportation up to 20 tons

Vehicles engaged in freight delivery up to 20 tons mainly operate in UAE for interregional and international routes. These vehicles fall under the N3 category, with trailers and semi-trailers corresponding to the O4 category (as per the UNECE classification). Transport vehicles capable of carrying 5–15 tons are classified as heavy-duty, while vehicles exceeding 15 tons are considered ultra-heavy-duty. The most common body types include flatbed, insulated bodies, refrigerated trucks, tarpaulin-covered trucks, general-purpose vans, low loaders, tankers, and dump trucks. Tankers and dump trucks are frequently utilized for intraregional transportation within the UAE as well.

Among popular vehicle brands with payload capacities over 10 tons, some notable examples include Volvo FH12, Scania R124, IVECO EUROTECH 260E43, DAF 95XF430, MAN 26.410, among others. To achieve maximum payload capacity, trucks and tractors with semi-trailers are utilized. To minimize time and costs for loading and unloading operations, these vehicles are often equipped with tail lifts or cranes. Since the vehicles cover significant distances, they are designed with highly comfortable cabins, including sleeping compartments. In trucks of American origin, cabins are often as spacious as a small one-room apartment.

Among trucks transporting goods over 10 tons, some are equipped with chassis-mounted 20- or 40-foot containers, allowing payload capacities to reach 20 or 40 tons, respectively. Containers can be standard, suitable for use as general-purpose vans, or specialized, such as insulated, refrigerated, tarpaulin-covered, or flatbed containers with securing uprights.
