Cargo of up to 5 tonnes in UAE

More than half of the trips in UAE cities are for the delivery of goods weighing between 4 and 5 tons

In smaller cities, their share is noticeably less, although still significant. Moreover, vehicles with a carrying capacity of up to 5.0 tons are actively used not only for transporting goods within a city or region but also between UAE regions.

Transportation of up to 5 tons is usually carried out over short or medium distances, up to a maximum of 800–1200 km. For long-distance travel (2,000–3,000 km), like with trucks, goods in such quantities are sent only by individual orders. There are many flatbed trucks among vehicles with a carrying capacity of up to 5 tons, but vans — either all-metal or tent-covered — are more common.

When renting, it should be taken into account that the all-metal body is usually loaded only through the rear door. It is better to order such equipment for the delivery of furniture and other voluminous but relatively light things. As well as cargo secured on pallets. Many models are equipped with a hydraulic tailgate. It facilitates loading and unloading of goods, regardless of their weight. Tented five-ton vehicles are more suitable if you have to load luggage from above using a crane or from the side with a forklift. They are more convenient for delivering heavy items such as building materials, equipment, hardware, and so on.

Another difference between an all-metal body and a tent is that it is preferable to use the former option for transporting more cargo that is valuable. After all, there is always a risk that a knife will cut through the tent at a night parking lot.
