Industries reliant on the movement of heavy goods rest their weight, quite literally, on the capabilities of heavy-duty trucks. In this listicle, we'll look at the differences between two of the most popular heavy-duty truck styles, flatbed trucks and utility trucks, offering you the insight needed to choose the best heavy-duty truck for your business. 

A Look at Flatbed Trucks 

popular option for heavy duty haulers, the heavy-duty flatbed truck is a powerhouse designed for versatility and raw transportation capability. Its elongated flatbed allows for the transportation of various materials, items or vehicles. At Isuzu Truck of the Lehigh Valley, we have a great selection of new and used heavy-duty flatbed trucks, so visit us today! 

A Look at Utility Trucks 

The utility truck inherits its versatility from a modular design that includes space for tools, spare parts, and essential accessories. This adaptability allows folks across a variety of industries to get incredible use out of utility trucks versus other conventional options. From plumbers to movers and everything in between, the utility truck is a great option if you need a reliable truck with an enclosed cargo hold.

Highlighting Heavy Duty 

Every detail boils down to the specialized requirements of the cargo hauling at hand. The utility truck offers cover for valuable items from the weather and unscrupulous folks, while the flatbed offers plenty of space for a variety of cargo, offering heavy-duty haulers the most flexibility. 

In construction, for example, where the requisites jump from transporting excavators to lumber to concrete forms, the flatbed is the conventional choice. Meanwhile, in the delivery and service industry, a utility truck is the best choice. 

How to Choose 

Looking at the scale of your operations, your regular load types, and areas you service, will guide you to the truck you need. If you’re regularly hauling retail items in a cold climate, you’re going to want a utility truck. But, if you’re in a warm climate and hauling heavy machinery, there is no better choice than a heavy-duty flatbed truck. Whichever truck style you choose, there is only one dealership to buy it from — Isuzu Truck of Lehigh Valley, visit us today!
